What makes it so much fun?

Well, it's difficult to say...what does make summer at MadCAP such a special experience?  Some would say it is because school isn't in session, so they have more time to concentrate fully on the experience of performing in the musical.  Some might say it is because they get to spend their time at a safe place where they have a feeling of BELONGING doing what they love.  Some might say it is because the staff and intern staff is fantastic.

 Even others might tell you that summer at MadCAP is special because of the new friends they meet from different schools and different communities in and around Madison.

 Of course, the performances are always fun...some might tell you that they love summer at MadCAP for the chance to perform in community venues for so many folks that are around looking for fun things to see and do.

I guess the final answer here is that summer at MadCAP is great for a million different reasons, and the greatness is individual to each and every person participating, from student to teacher to volunteer intern staff.

Now, about this "Dinner Theatre" thing....

Lots of folks have wondered just what we mean when we say that our THROUGH THE DECADES series will perform in a Dinner Theatre setting.  Well, just that.

Madison has some great favorite summer activities involving the arts...Concerts on the Square and Opera in the Park are a few of them.  What we aim to do with this performance series is to offer our MadCAP families & friends the chance to some see an interactive musical theatre show in an informal and immersive space.  We invite folks to bring a picnic dinner, and we'll provide beverage and dessert in the ticket price.

This is our studio in its "rehearsal" ready mode.  Pretty empty, not too exciting.  I did stick one of our cafe tables in there, though, and that's what we use to set up for our Company M After Dark performances and other cabaret set ups.

It looks much different in performance light, though, doesn't it?

The audience set up will include tables and chairs for those folks who would like to dine with us.  We'll even help you get your dinner ordered and delivered here if you don't have time to create one for yourself.  All in all, it's a beautifully intimate setting, not weather dependent, and has excellent acoustics.  Previous productions with audience seating in this style include "Intervention", "Macbeth", and "Middle School Madness".

I think it's going to be great, and I look forward to the "dinner theatre" style performances this summer!  Keep an eye on the blog and our website for more ticket information.
