In January 1982 the North Country Chorus began its tradition of Madrigal Dinners as a means of raising money for our 1982 tour of England. While the theme and plot have varied and evolved over the years, each production has featured a mouthwatering dinner and abundant entertainment, including music, drama, dance, magic and juggling. The Town Hall of Monroe, NH, has undergone extensive transformations into castle halls of England, Scotland and Spain, as well as a tavern and Canterbury Cathedral.
