2011 Madrigal Dinner

December 2nd & 3rd, STM Cafetorium

To celebrate this season of good tidings and peace, our most gracious King announces the coming of his 6th annual Madrigal Dinner. The King extends to all his loyal gentry - landed or not - an invitation to join him, his Queen and indeed the entire Royal Court for a yuletide banquet of fine food, good cheer and hearty merriment at The High School of Saint Thomas More. Whilst their spirits thus are gently moved, the guests shall dine upon sumptuous cuisine prepared by the finest cooks in all the land, the King's own private chefs. Surrounded by the glorious sounds, lavish costumes and spritely dances of the early 16th century, His Majesty's guests become part of the pageantry, history and celebration of the Royal Court.

The Castle Forsooth, the castle gates open 30 minutes before the festivities begin. Guests are advised to arrive in good time so as to be seated before the performance begins. Members of the audience will be greeted by His Royal Highness during the festivities, therefore the King requests appropriate royal attire to include Renaissance flavor if desired. Performance begins at 7:00 p.m.

The Madrigal Dinner is held at The High School of Saint Thomas More, 3901 N. Mattis Ave., Champaign, IL. Parking/Entrance on the West Side of the castle (school).
