Banquet in Honor of the King of Spain
On March 29, 2007, seven students organized a Banquet in Honor of the King of Spain in the Lerner Black Box. Members of the Jester, The Fed, and other campus organizations including KCST were tapped as banqueteers, though all were invited to attend in various capacities. Eric Foner was the invited guest.
The event was heavily advertised as a mysterious type of performance in the Black Box and drew a moderately sized audience. Though the show was originally planned to be a sketch comedy performance, this concept was dropped several weeks before and the new concept was kept a secret from everyone with the exception of the banqueteers themselves. The night of the performance, the audience was treated to a viewing of 7 people eating whole roast chickens and quetily talking amongst themselves for 45 minutes.
