The Artistic Appetizer

Hosted by The Phoenix Theatre Company’s Resident Dramaturge, Michelle Chin, The Artistic Appetizer is an engaging pre-show conversation that peels back the curtain on a production’s origins. Think of it as a bite-sized preview, a chance to hear how a play’s themes, history, and creative vision come together onstage. Guests enjoy a complimentary glass of wine and the opportunity to connect with the creatives behind the story before the performance begins. Pair it with a stop at our ArtBar+Bistro for even more to savor. 

The Artistic Appetizer Upcoming Events:
“Million Dollar Quartet”- Friday, February 6, 5:45 pm

“Tenderly: The Rosemary Clooney Musical”- Friday, March 20, 5:45pm

“Dear Evan Hansen”- Friday, July 10, 5:45pm
