Auditions for Adults and Kids May 2 and 4th

REVELS ANNOUNCES 40TH ANNIVERSARY “CHRISTMAS REVELS” CHORUS AUDITIONS FOR ADULTS & CHILDREN, MAY 2nd & MAY 4th at ST. JOHN’S CHURCH, WATERTOWN, MA

Adults and Children All!

Be a part of a very special “Christmas Revels” as we celebrate the solstice – and our 40th anniversary - with 16 performances at Harvard University’s Sanders Theatre this December. (Performance Dates: December 17-19, 21-23 & 26-29)

Chorus Audition Schedule for Sunday, May 2 and Tuesday, May 4, 2010
Location: St. John's Church, 80 Mt. Auburn Street, Watertown, MA

ADULTS:
7:00 - 9:30 pm BOTH NIGHTS (May 2 & May 4)

Adult auditions will follow a different format than in years past. We will schedule small groups of adults in 20-minute blocks, unlike the one-at-a-time format we have used for years, to hear how auditioners sing with one another. To schedule your appointment, contact Lynda Johnson at ljohnson@revels.org.
NOTE: Holding adult Christmas Revels auditions in the spring is also a change for us. Please help us spread the word!

CHILDREN 6-12 Years of Age:
Sunday, May 2; 3:00 to 5:00 pm
Tuesday, May 4; 4:00 - 6:00 pm

Children's auditions are on a first-come, first-served basis, no appointment necessary. This year we are asking children to sing one of the following songs, unaccompanied: "Happy Birthday," "America the Beautiful" or "Silent Night." These need not be sung from memory, and we will have word sheets on hand, but memorization is encouraged!


About this year’s show: Set in Haddon Hall, an ancient Manor and the original setting of the very first Christmas Revels presented in 1971, the 2010 Christmas Revels will feature music, dance and folk plays from three separate periods in English history: medieval, Renaissance and Victorian.
