The Norse Culinary Team invites you to partake in the Center Stage Dinner Series, featuring a different multicourse menu to complement each evening’s performance. Local ingredients are used whenever possible and will be highlighted at each dinner. The dinners are served on campus within walking distance of the Center for Faith and Life, where the performances are held.

All meals begin at 5:30 p.m. in Peace Dining Room on the second floor of Dahl Centennial Union. Dinner tickets are $17 per person with an accompanying Center Stage Series performance ticket, or $19 for the dinner alone. Wine and beer will be available for purchase.

A distinctive vegetarian entrée (V) is available for every meal. Special dietary needs due to allergies will be accommodated as we are able; please inform the box office at time of ticket purchase (a minimum of 24 hours prior to the meal). Guests who want to sit together should designate this on the order form (or notify the box office a minimum of 24 hours prior to the meal). Luther students may use NordicCash.

Menu items are subject to change based on availability.
