We want your feedback as we plan for “Dinner at the Square” to be the hottest ticket in town. While it is possible that the Noles might outsell us, it isn’t likely.

Write us at suggestionbox@tothevillagesquare.org.

We have put the following in our own suggestion box:

1.; Each dinner we’ll bestow the dubious honor of being
“Ye Olde Timekeeper” on a semi-willing audience member.;
Nominations of the compulsive and impatient?;
Anyone you want to settle a score with?;

2.; Aggressive sound management.
No cups and strings for us.; We’ll go pro if need be.

3.; Dinner will begin promptly at 5:30 upon your arrival. Feel free to take a seat, then help yourself.

4.; We’re amping up our volunteer staff, especially at the door.
