Revels is proud to partner with the following organizations in presenting seasonal and community celebrations throughout Massachusetts:
Actors' Shakespeare Project (Shakespeare in the Square partner) The Actors’ Shakespeare Project believes Shakespeare’s words are urgently relevant to our times. Working as an ensemble of resident company members, we bring these words into the voices, bodies, and imaginations of our actors, audiences and neighborhoods. We do this through creative projects, including intimate productions and outreach programs that are informed by the spaces in which they happen. These projects inspire civic dialogue, build relationships between people, strengthen communities, and reveal something about what it means to be human here and now.
American Repertory Theatre (Shakespeare in the Square partner)
Boston Camerata Founded in 1954, The Boston Camerata preserves and reawakens human memory as expressed through the art of music. It accomplishes this mission through live, historically informed, professional performances of European and American music of the Medieval, Renaissance and Baroque eras; through study and research into musical sources of the past; through sound recordings and media projects; and through community outreach and musical education Since 1968, Joel Cohen has directed the ensemble's teaching, research, recording and concert activities.
