On Saturday, December 4th, from 6-8PM, the Weatherford Hotel is hosting a traditional, multi-course English Christmas dinner in the historic Zane Grey Ballroom, which will include a reading of A Christmas Carol by Charles Dickens as portrayed by Theatrikos mainstay Tony Sutera.

Chef Josh Sartor, who honed his culinary chops in the high-end kitchens of New York City, is a lifelong student of world cuisine, and is anxious to show Flagstaff what a traditional English dinner looks like. “The first course includes Chicken Pea Soup and Kedgeree, an Anglo-Indian rice and fish dish popular at the time when India was ‘the jewel in the crown of the British Empire.’ The second course will be Game Pie, Roast Beef, a Fruit Tart, and Sponge Cake. Next will be a Winter Salad, and the fourth, final course will be tea and cookies.”

Tickets are $65 per person and include both the dinner and the performance. There will also be many chances to contribute financially to Theatrikos, who will receive 100% of the fundraising effort. Wine, beer, and cocktails will be available for an extra charge. The event will last from 6-8 PM, but patrons are encouraged to come early or stay late at any of the four pubs at the Weatherford. The waitstaff will be in costume, and period attire is requested but by no means required for entry. There are only thirty-two tickets available, as the Weatherford and Theatrikos both wish to cultivate a memorable, intimate atmosphere.
