About Summer Revels

The Summer Revels
Come sing, dance and make merry as together we celebrate the light!

June 18, 2016 on the Norwich Green

The Summer Revels is taking us to a traditional circus, with ringmaster Nils Fredland leading a variety of acts, as well as the audience, in a celebration of summer and the longest day of the year!

The Norwich Green opens at 5:30 p.m. with giant puppets and roving performers, craft activities, and food stalls selling locally-produced fare. At 7:00 p.m., the bugle will sound and the Summer Revels performers will parade in to begin the show! The audience will be encouraged to participate in the almost theatre-in-the-round performance and truly be a part of the festivities. There will be group singing and a lot of dancing–clogging, broom dancing, and even Morris dancing to “Take Me Out to the Ballgame”. A Mummer’s Play will add to the theatrics, and we will end the evening with performers and audience members alike singing and dancing as the sun goes down.

The Summer Revels is a free, family-friendly event.

The Summer Revels is an excellent opportunity for community members to participate in a Revels North production! Each year, we look for singers of all ages and abilities. No audition required; registration begins in April, and rehearsals happen weekly throughout the month of June.
