About Dark Dining Room:
A Dark Dining Room is an intimate listening environment setup in houses, galleries, and other non-traditional venues. Lit by candles and minimal light, listeners sit on various chairs, pillows, the floor, etc. to listen and watch attentively. Talking is discouraged during performances unless it is to interact with the performers. At many shows, charities that are important to the host are highlighted.
