The Madrigal Dinner

If you've never been to nor heard of a Madrigal Dinner, you've come to the right place. Here's a brief description:

Regardless of form, content, theme or name, the Madrigal Dinner is basically a "you eat, we sing" framework surrounding a variety of arts, all complementary and in turn being complemented by others. Music, drama, the visual arts and not the least, the culinary arts, all combine into a unique integrated aesthetic experience, unleashing the imaginations of all involved, including (and especially) the audience.

The audience will find themselves in the center of a make-believe world, peopled by the Lord and Lady of the Manor, jesters, minstrels, and all the sounds and excitement of another time and another place.
