Trial by Dinner

Trial by Dinner is a hilarious spoof on justice that runs the length of your evening meal. The dining audience is plunged into an ongoing court session delivered by a cast of hilarious TeamBonding CharActors, complete with judge’s bench and witness stand in the middle of the dining environment.

Once all guests are seated, the prosecutor calls the court to order and bids the court to rise and make way for the presiding judge. The judge runs quickly over the docket for the evening, calling the prosecuting attorney to the bench. Before the various cases are heard, it is determined that a rigorous jury selection process must take place. Randomly selected members of the audience are called forward and questioned as potential jurors. This process becomes a half hour of comedic interaction between actors and individual members of the audience.

All of the cases presented before the bench will be carefully contrived scenarios based on inside information you’ve provided TeamBonding. Each case features a damning presentation by the prosecution, followed with an extremely limited defense by the accused. The verdict is drawn from the audience by a common vote. Inevitably all accused are found guilty, and are remanded for harsh sentencing.

Throughout the evening, a three-piece musical combo neatly dovetails with the comedic proceedings, effectively creating a seamless and highly entertaining presentation.
