When you arrive you will be greeted by the actors all ready in costume and character. They will respond as if you too were part of the magical world you have entered. Then they will look for volunteers to play minor characters in the story. For those who are not inclined, it is volunteer so say no thanks. But for those who want to steal the show schmooze with the actors and you'll have a part in the show. The actors character will say something like "where is this person." Stand up right there at your dinner table and read your lines. Or move around if you really want to steal the show. The dinner is served a course at a time between the acts. It is a great ice breaker between people, gives you a start to the conversation when you can discuss the previous act then move on to other things
