Revels Salon Series
Eclectic in content and social in nature, The Revels Salon Series returns for an eighth season with two very special Salons presented by three people VERY close to Revels: Susan Cooper, author, Revels script writer, dear friend and now biographer of Revels founder, John Langstaff, and Revels directors Patrick Swanson and George Emlen, whose collaborative efforts result in the magic you see onstage every year in The Christmas Revels.
Meet this year's presenters in the elegant setting of the Victorian-era Commander's Mansion in Watertown, MA. Enjoy a pre-Salon wine & cheese reception at 7:30 pm. Presentations begin at 8:00 pm, and are followed by more libations, sweets and conversation from 9:00 to 9:30. Map & directions. Seating is limited. Mark your calendars, tell a friend and join us!
