THE CHRISTMAS REVELS: A Magical Winter Tale, The Celestial Fools, December 20th & 21st.
A traveling troupe of players – Sun, Moon and Stars – visit a mythical village somewhere in Europe. They bring with them vibrant color, music, story, and a glimpse of life and a world view unimaginable by these simple folks. They are iconic wise fools who use their entertainments to open hearts and minds to a new perspective and – on a mystical quest – to restore the light of a New Year.
Join us and be joyous!

December 1926: John Henry Manners, the 9th Duke of Rutland, is visiting Haddon Hall with his wife and children. Abandoned for over two centuries and now dilapidated, his ancestral home is slated for demolition. Stranded there overnight, the Duke and his family are unexpected witnesses to a “spirited” holiday celebration involving the many generations who have made this their home. These ghostly participants do their best to convince the Duke that Haddon Hall must be saved.
