When you clear away all the ornaments, decorations, and cobwebs, the sentence says  "Performers made dinner."Subject = performersPredicate = madeDirect Object = dinner. An indirect object in a sentence is quite rare.  If there is one, then it'swho or what gets the direct object.  In this sentence, "themselves"get the dinner, so "themselves" is the indirect object.
