In this year's Christmas Revels: A Scottish Celebration of the Winter Solstice, audiences will be transported back to 18th-century Scotland to a rural hamlet in the country's northwestern Highlands where villagers are beginning their annual celebration of Hogmanay, the Scottish New Year.

Audience members will experience traditional folk ballads, Highland dances (including the famous Argyll Broadswords Dance), and poems written by Scotland's national poet, Robert Burns. There will also be a folktale about a selkie, and a Guisers' (Mummers') Play, in which the legendary Scottish warrior-hero, Galoshens, battles the evil Black Knight.
