The Queen's Feast: Return of the Monarch
Enjoy a Tudor feast with Queen Elizabeth I, a madrigal show, and Shakespeare himself performs scenes
Join us as we celebrate Queen Elizabeth I's Speech at Tilbury The Queen’s Feast is an interactive dining experience where guests can feel a part of a traditional Renaissance feast! Throughout the dinner, courses will be presented theatrically and accompanied by a traditional madrigal song performed by a quartet of singers. Queen Elizabeth I and her court will also be announced with great flourish, as well as special guests like William Shakespeare and his Chamberlain's men! The Queen, of course, wants entertainment with her meal, so Master Shakespeare will present scenes from his latest work. Musicians will strum away beautiful music of the time, and other exciting acts will take place for the pleasure of the court. But wait! A game is afoot. It seems a traitor that is close to the queen may cause things to go very awry. Are you loyal to her majesty or will you back the rebels in a potential insurrection? Dressing of the time period (1588) is requested but not required to maintain the spirit of the feast. QUEEN'S FEAST SCHEDULE 6:00PM ~ Doors open.

About Experience Theatre Project
Experience Theatre Project was founded with the belief that new, modern theater consists of innovation, immersion, and imagination. We strive to create a unique and inventive theater-going experience by bringing audience members into the moment through a collaboration of creative writers, performers, musicians, technology, digital media, and the community. We aspire to produce a wide-ranging repertoire which will encourage the audience to not simply observe a play, but essentially feel as though they are an integral part of the performance (the experience). Our eclectic approach celebrates new voices, inspires and challenges audiences of all ages, and explores new and inventive ways in which to bring theatrical performance to a whole new level of storytelling.
