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.

What Do I Need to Know?

​

Dress Code:

Formal attire is requested (including black tie for the gentlemen) except at any matinee when you are welcome to wear business attire.

​

Timing: 

Evening shows begin at exactly 8:30pm (doors open at 7:45pm)  so please arrive at least 15 minutes early to take your seat.  

 

Any empty seats at curtain time will be reassigned to standing room patrons. Another reason to show up on time!

​

Tickets:

Ushers at each performance will have a complete record of all seats assigned if you have forgotten your ticket. They will help make certain you fully enjoy your evening at the Orpheus Club. 

 

Please contact Club Manager Charlotte Calmels at office@orpheusclub.org of 215-641-1872 for ticket assistance.

​

Afterparty:

After the show, an elaborate spread of food and refreshments will tempt you to extend your visit to enjoy the company of fellow members and our traditional roundtable of songs both old and new.

​

Leaving the Clubhouse:

To be a better neighbor on our unique residential side-street, we are enforcing a no-cars policy after 10 pm. This means that personal auto or “Uber” pickup must not be made on Van Pelt Street.

​

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.
