Why Donate to Washington Revels?

Your donation is more than just a tax-deductible gift: it is an investment in the social fabric of the greater Washington area.

Washington Revels is a multi-generational performance community of professionals and nonprofessionals that includes literally hundreds of performers—adults, teens, and children—along with dozens of key production staff and hundreds of volunteers. Including our audiences, who participate interactively with us, our more than 50 programs touch over 20,000 participants every year. Very few arts organizations offer that scope and reach.

But Washington Revels is so much more. It has been said that theater differs from mere entertainment because theater has the power of individual transformation. Revels adds the possibility of social transformation. We bring people together across the national and cultural divisions of a fractured world in a shared celebration of community. Our performances, programs, and after-school workshops explore traditions from many cultures and different eras, uniquely illustrating the common humanity that binds us all together. Our printed and online materials supplement supplement these activities with an enriching mix of history, culture and other educational material.

The world needs more Revels. We are committed to reach as many people as possible with its transforming power. Please make a gift to Washington Revels today and join us in our mission of Creating Community Through Celebration.

Christmas Revels Youth Ticket Fund

This year, Washington Revels marks a big change—and a challenge—as we bring Christmas Revels to the beautiful Cultural Arts Center (CAC) at Montgomery College in Silver Spring/Takoma Park. This jewel box of a theater is warm, intimate, and includes free parking, but has necessitated a rise in ticket prices. For more information about the (CAC) and Christmas Revels, please read our Frequently Ask Questions.

However, Washington Revels is committed to keeping ticket prices for children and youth accessible. To meet this challenge, we have created a “Youth Ticket Fund” to help keep those prices sustainable. We would be deeply grateful if you’d consider a donation to this fund. Christmas Revels has delighted audiences for more than four decades. Your donation will help us continue to keep this holiday tradition accessible to young people and to foster the next generation of Revelers.
