Installation Banquet 2017

Event Sponsors

The evening begins at 5:30 p.m. with social hour; dinner will be served at 6:30 p.m. with entertainment by "The Royal Dumpe"!

At this year's Installation Banquet, we will Step back into 16th century England with King Henry VIII and his bevy of wenches! It's a riotous night of bawdy, naughty, but never really vulgar, merry making and song as you are transformed back to the days of yore!

About The Royal Dumpe Dinner Theater

The Royal Dumpe Dinner Theater opened in 1973 on the historic Laclede's Landing in St. Louis, Missouri. It has St. Louis's largest dinner theater cast, and has run with the same script since it opened.

The show is a fun mix of songs, audience participation, jokes by the Fool and other cast members, as well as some story telling. It has several variations to its show, including a Christmas style show.

It is billed as the poor man's Medieval Times, featuring a bevy of busty wenches, all improvisational comediennes who will stay in character throughout the evening. The evening delivers non-stop corniness, with tons of off-color humor and a visit from Henry VIII himself.

Its current owner, Jim Dannek, plays the role of Itchy Rumpe (an Innkeeper) who keeps watch over the ruckus house, until his Majesty, King Henry VIII, arrives. Along the way you meet a familiar cast of characters, including his jester, Master Patch Piece, Rosie Rumpe, and a slew of other cast members with equally bawdy names.

Of its type, no other "medieval style" dinner theater has been entertaining guests as long as The Royal Dumpe has. Learn more about The Royal Dumpe Here.
