When & Where

Sunday, December 31, private home, Leominster, MA (not open to the public)

Background

Bring in the Bells, at the Bell’s! ‘Hogmanay’ at the Kendall Tavern is a New Year’s Eve Party Scottish Style!! 9pm until the cows come home! Scottish dancing, party games, singing etc. Kilts will be provided at the door! First Footing and Leominster’s First Fireball!

What is Hogmanay? From http://www.hogmanay.net. Hogmanay is celebrated on New Year's Eve, every year, usually in a most exuberant fashion in Scotland as hundreds of thousands of revelers take to the streets to see in the New Year.

What are the origins of Hogmanay? Hogmanay's roots reach back to the pagan practice of sun and fire worship in the deep mid-Winter. This evolved into the ancient Saturnalia, a great Roman Winter festival, where people celebrated completely free of restraint and inhibition.

Text & Cast

This play will be cast at the event from among the guests, rather than as a general PBM casting call. Don't worry, we've got other open events coming up soon.
