The Ripon Area Community Theatre invites you to spend the evening with Madame Iggy at the Leland Hotel (J’s BBQ), home of Miss Iggy’s Bordello; Tuesday, November 15^th. Drink, dine, maybe even dance!

This is an immersive dinner theatre experience, and we want you to have the best time possible. Guests are encouraged to attend in costume!

We’re taking you back in time to 1880 and to the Old West and there are tons of options for who you want to be for the night and how you want to dress. It’s optional, of course, but it will enhance your whole experience. Use your imagination and get ready to play!
