About The Dinner Party

Elysabeth Alfano, host of Fear No ART, is branching out with a new show and new format. In addition to Fear No ART which will continue to air, The Dinner Party is a monthly show broadcast live on the internet in front of a live audience at the Mayne Stage. Alfano invites 3 creatives (mostly artists, but also entrepreneurs and inventors) to join her for dinner. Each monthly dinner is created by a different celebrity chef. While the chef is preparing the meal (and our cameras capture the culinary art), the 4 diners sip wine and the conversations flow!
Buy tickets to be a part of the audience for the filming of the 1 hour show and then STAY for a sampling of the chef’s creation and a continuation of the conversation with Elysabeth and the artists. Don’t live in Chicago? Invite your friends over, watch The Dinner Party on FearNoArt.tv and have a dinner party of your own, while tweeting in your questions or comments during the show. If your tweet is picked to be incorporated into the show, you will win great prizes like theater and dance tickets!
If you miss the live broadcast, snippets will be posted on FearNoArt.tv and youtube later, but wouldn’t you rather be a part of it? Tickets are on sale for the February 27th show. Details for this multi-sensory show are below. See you at dinner!
