A completely new and different kind of talk show: host Elysabeth Alfano of Fear No ART invites 3 different creatives (artists, inventors, entrepreneurs, etc.) to a dinner created by a different celebrity chef at the Mayne Stage the last Monday of every month.  Over wine, food, Vosges chocolate and a few impromptu artist performances, the conversations flow! Filmed in front of a live audience, which shares in all the tastings, THE DINNER PARTY also streams live on FearNoART.tv and TimeOutChicago.com/dinnerparty, so that viewers can tweet in (and win prizes!) and be a part of the conversation.  The 75-90 minute show closes with the artists mingling and an extended cocktail party.  

This month features Director, Steve James (The Interrupters, Hoop Dreams) Playwright (Crowns) and Actress (The Unit), Regina Taylor, the Southern food of Chef Paul Fehribach of Big Jones, Gospel Stellar Award nominee Marco the Poet and Artistic Director of Be The Groove, Stephanie Paul.  In honor of Crowns, artist hats are provided by Jenny Pfanenstiel.
