 Hear ye! Hear ye! After a 2-year hiatus, the North Hills High School Choir's annual Madrigal Dinner event will return in-person! Join us Saturday, November 19 at 6:30PM in the Fellowship Hall at Hiland Presbyterian Church, 845 Perry Highway (note change from the originally published date and location on the district's printed calendar). Sponsored by the NH Choral Parents Association, this event brings to life the medieval banquet feasts in a holiday themed night of music, drama, and dinner!
The room will be transformed into a Renaissance era castle banquet hall and the evening will include a royal procession, singing and entertainment. The evening will include a home-cooked pasta meal prepared by the parents and served by choir members, while the Madrigal Players will present a 15th century-style skit in period costumes with music provided by the Madrigal Choir composed of North Hills students. This year's skit presented during dinner, "Murder Most Fowl," features a strange man who comes into the Kingdom, with something to sell. But this isn’t just any something. This is a goose – and no ordinary goose at that. This is the famous goose that lays the golden eggs! Or is it lies the golden eggs? Well, someone is lying, to be sure, and that’s the least of the transgressions being committed. Before too long the goose is cooked, and the Jester, Mertonsire, and Gossage the Goose Seller are the three main suspects. Luckily, the finest detective in all the Kingdom, Second Assistant Inspector Detective Upson Downey is on the case, and with the audience’s help, the goose-slayer is found, and justice is restored. Following the meal, Madrigal Choir members will perform a mini concert of traditional holiday carols. Raffle baskets will be available during the evening. Proceeds will benefit the North Hills Choral Program's continuing activities including this spring's music department tour to New York City and Messiah University. Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students and can be purchased with a credit card or reserved online at www.nhchoiranddrama.net. Seating is limited, so reservations are strongly encouraged.
