Join us for a truly unique theatrical experience that includes a delicious dinner, a live chamber orchestra, and a presentation of Thorton Wilder's The Long Christmas Dinner. This one-of-a-kind event invites you to be swept into the rich, emotional journey of the Bayard family across nine decades, all white enjoying the warmth of the holiday season.
The performance is brought to life with the evocative sounds of the Classical Music Institute’s Chamber Connexions, whose delicate melodies and powerful orchestral swells deepen the emotional resonance of Wilder's timeless play. As the generations of the Bayard family come and go through moments of joy, sorrow, and tradition, the music seamlessly weaves through the scenes, enhancing every shift in tone from celebration to reflection.
As you settle into the intimate atmosphere, enjoy a complimentary drink to kick off the evening, followed by a beautifully prepared dinner by Tobin’s TASTE Fine Dining that adds a tactile layer to the experience. The meal is designed to bring the warmth and nostalgia of holiday gatherings to life, connecting you further with the themes of family, memory, and the passage of time explored in the play.
This special event is an immersive, multi-sensory journey—a celebration of theater, music, and culinary delight that will leave you reflecting on the fleeting nature of time and the enduring power of family and tradition.
