Madrigal coming to the Pearl
Just what is a madrigal dinner?
It’s a party in the Renaissance style with comedy ala Shakespearian times, pop music of the time (madrigals), dances performed to the music, a recorder consort (the flutes of the period with cello and percussion), elaborate costumes, raucous toasts made with wassail (a spiced cider), and for dinner: succulent drumsticks, ribs, sausages, corn on the cob, new potatoes, and rum cake to feast upon with only your fingers and a knife!
The Pearl Theater presents this event with multiple options.
Saturday, November 9, at 6:30 pm is the only performance with the full dinner. Tickets are $27 for the dinner, wassail, dessert, and performance.
These tickets are available at Bonners Books in Bonners Ferry and must be purchased no later than 5 p.m. Thursday, November 7.
On Sunday, November 10, both shows at 1:30 pm and 5:30 will be presented with dessert and wassail included for $16.
These tickets are available at Bonners Books and at the door.
Balcony seating for all three shows is $10 at the door (performance only).
Director for the Madrigal Event is Vicki Blake Thompson, and the choreographer is Irina Riverman. Chef is Nancy Meadows Langley of “Naughty Cakes."
Performers include eight singers, an acting company of nine, the dancers of the new Bonners Ferry “Over the Moon Dance Company," and five instrumentalists.
The Pearl Theater is located on 7160 Ash Street in Bonners Ferry, just south of the Kootenai River Inn and Casino.
