For “The Midwinter Revels,” celebrating a different culture from a different time period each year, Puget Sound Revels premieres “Christmastime in Seneca Village” December 14-18, 2024 at the Rialto Theater in Tacoma. The show features traditional songs, dances, and stories and invites audience participation through singing and dancing. Seneca Village was founded by formerly enslaved and free African Americans in 1825, and later attracted Irish and German immigrants who were also escaping racism and discrimination. The village thrived as a hub of cultural exchange that was unique for the time period. Community members bought and owned land, and they built homes, churches, schools, and gardens together.
