At 7PM the guests were allowed to enter the theater and enjoy a selection of cookies served with punch and coffee. As guests entered they were offered an edible memento of the evening - a rice krispie ball decorated in the image of Jack's face - with chocolate eyes, nose and mouth - complete with a black ribbon bow-tie and spider.
