The Washington High School Choral Department is excited to present its annual Madrigal Dinner, “A White Elephant Christmas,” on Thursday-Saturday, December 11-13, 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.

The Madrigal Dinner is a unique musical event that combines the elegance of a Renaissance feast with the charm of choral music. Attendees are transported to a grand banquet hall in 16th-century England, where they are not just audience members, but an essential part of the experience.

The evening begins with a welcome reception, where you will be announced by the Town Crier and ushered into the hall by choir members. As the dinner progresses, you will be 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 entertain you with townspeople, creating a magical atmosphere that immerses everyone in the spirit of the Renaissance and the holidays.

Tickets are $50 for preferred seating and $40 for general seating, which includes the three-course meal and entertainment. The dinner will be held at the John B. Busch Brewery and Event Center on the following dates:

Thursday, December 11 – 7 p.m.

Friday, December 12 – 7 p.m.

Saturday, December 13 – 4 p.m.
