Description	Founded in 1990 asa non-profit organization, Revels, Inc. based in Cambridge, Massachusetts, which was founded in 1970 by John Langstaff to promote public education, understanding, and appreciation of traditional music, dance, drama, and ritual through the medium of participatory theater and communal celebration. All Revels organizations share Revels' artistic resources but are established as separate not-for-profit entities with independent boards.

Classes and Workshops	Children have always been an integral part of Revels -- as participants, audience, as inspiration, and as our future. For each Revels production, a group of children is chosen from a Houston school. As part of its commitment to that school, Revels will work with them to identify ways in which Revels' professionals and volunteers can work within the school curriculum, thereby broadening the Revels experience to more than just the performing students. Examples of this broader involvement include bringing Revels' artists into the school for performances and discussions. Revels can also serve as a catalyst for involvement of others, up to the mounting of independent productions by the school itself. Revels also conducts all-teacher educational music workshops, led by Revels' founder John Langstaff. These workshops are approved by the Houston Independent School District for Continuing Education Credits.
