Portland Revels

Programming throughout the year includes a spring revels program, a children's revels program, community chorus and pub sings featuring folk music from around the world, poetry, and storytelling.

In 2016 portland revels launched a special children's program as a spin-off to the full christmas revels production. Targeted toward families with younger children, the one-hour production incorporates the time-tested elements of the season's regular production: singing, dancing and audience participation. In 2019, portland revels began spring revels, a program through which revels commissions and collaborates with a local playwright to create a brand-new production focused on a marginalized community. Like children's revels, spring revels productions weave in core revels performance elements, including choral singing, storytelling, and audience participation, to build community and connection between audiences and performers, including dancing and audience participation.
