Kim Peterson-Quinn directs the show and is assisted by Alaina Marth. David Swaar is instrumental music director, Julie Kasa is the accompanist, and Brittney McLaughlin is choreographer.

Madrigal dinners are a form of dinner theater held during the Christmas season and are generally set in the Middle Ages. The meal is divided into courses, and skits of a comedic nature are performed between the courses. In addition, a mix of medieval and renaissance period choral music is included.

The entree for the dinner performances is roasted pork loin, and pumpkin cake will be served for dessert.

Tickets for the Sunday performance include dessert only and cost $15. Tickets for the Monday and Tuesday performances include dinner and cost $25 for adults or $22 for senior citizens and children under 12.

Tickets may be purchased at the State Bank of Lincoln, 111 N. Sangamon Street branch, or call Kim Peterson-Quinn at 217-732-4131, ext. 232.
