The Washington High School Choral Department is excited to present its annual Madrigal Dinner, “Follow Me in Merry Measure,” on Thursday-Saturday, December 14-16, at John B. Busch Brewery Event Center, 108 Busch Ave., Washington, MO 63090.
A jolly good time of beautiful singing, delicious food, raucous antics, and lively thespians for your holiday enjoyment.
What is a Madrigal Dinner? This performance is a unique musical event that combines the elegance of a Renaissance feast with the charm of choral music. Imagine stepping into a time machine and being transported to a grand banquet hall in 16th-century England, where you are not just an audience member but an essential part of the experience.
The evening begins with a welcome reception, where attendees are announced by our Town Crier and ushered into the hall by our choir members. As the dinner progresses, attendees are treated to a sumptuous three-course feast, reminiscent of the lavish meals enjoyed by nobility in the Renaissance era. In between courses, students dressed in elaborate period costumes will delight you with a play and get entertained by our townspeople, creating a magical atmosphere that immerses everyone in the spirit of the Renaissance and the holidays. But the performance is not confined to a stage; instead, choir members and attendees interact closely, making the event highly engaging and interactive.
The Madrigal Dinner offers a perfect blend of historical ambiance, delicious food, and enchanting holiday music, providing a unique and memorable experience for all who attend.
The show will run on Thursday, December 14, and Friday, December, 15, at 7 p.m. Another performance will be on Saturday, December 16, at 4 p.m. Doors open 30 minutes prior to start time.
Tickets are $25 per person, which includes a three-course meal and entertainment. Be sure to bring extra change to buy additional items from the townspeople. Proceeds benefit the WHS Choir Program. Tickets are on sale until December 1.
