Drake Madrigal Dinner tickets on sale now
Enjoy a holiday feast and laughs with friends at Drake University’s Christmas Madrigal Dinners at 7 p.m. on Saturday, Dec. 5, and Sunday, Dec. 6.
The evening will feature a decadent Renaissance feast with wine and Cornish game hen, garlic mashed potatoes, spinach salad, baked apple, scones, wassail and figgy pudding, which is presented in a flaming fashion. Vegetarian meals are also available.
The night also features amusing performances by strolling minstrels, jugglers and dancers as the Drake Chamber Choir serenades the audience.
The performers encourage guests to talk and get involved instead of similar events of its kind, in which the audience is expected to sit quietly.
Tickets, which cost $50, go on sale at the Drake Fine Arts Box Office on Monday, Nov. 2.
For reservations, contact the box office at 515-271-3841.
