Student Union Administration says "farewell" to Madrigal Dinner

The Madrigal Dinner, an annual celebration hosted by the Student Union and the School of Music, has been retired  according to Director of the Student Union, Eric Corbitt.

The discontinuation of the Madrigal Dinner was announced through WINGS on Wednesday, April 13.

The Madrigal Dinner began in 1974 at Wright State and was later revived in 1983 due to an extended period of inactivity. It has been held from then on until 2016, making it active for 33 years.

It was a themed dinner that took place during winter break. It was essentially a medieval dinner theater that featured performances like choral music, dancing and more. There were also hosts that played the part of nobility and other medieval characters, like a court jester.

The post made by the Student Union Administrative Office only said that “time” and “circumstances” were the cause of the decision to retire the Madrigal Dinner.
