Twelfth Night Revels
What Is Revels?
The Twelfth Night Revels are part of a long-standing tradition that highlights the Orpheus Club season year after year. An irreverent and humorous musical production staged by a select group from within the Club, our Revels feature original arrangements (and sometimes lyrics) to songs loosely linked by a topical plot line. The music includes a wide variety of styles, and all roles are played by OC men in stunning and sometimes outrageous costumes and make-up.
No Recording Please!
Please remember the Club’s policy regarding privacy and the recording of pictures and video inside the Clubhouse. Note that if you are found snapping pictures or video during the performance, the device will be taken from you by an usher or club officer. You will be asked to delete the images in exchange for its return.

Please request auto pickup at the north or south end of Van Pelt Street at the intersection of Locust or Spruce. Elderly or handicapped patrons are excluded from this restriction. All guests are asked to be quiet and respectful of our neighbors as you exit the Club after a night of fun.
