Cleveland Stories Dinner Parties

Cleveland Stories Dinner Party is a weekly series that pairs fine food with storytelling. Through it, the folks at Music Box Supper Club hope to raise awareness of the mission of the Western Reserve Historical Society's Cleveland History Center. The goal of the Cleveland Stories Dinner Party is to "bring to life some of the fun, interesting stories about Cleveland's past — from sports, to rock 'n' roll, to Millionaires' Row," as it's put in a press release. Admission is free, with no cover charge, although a prix fixe dinner, designed to complement the night's theme, is $20. Tonight, lifelong Cleveland historian, author and master storyteller Dennis R. Sutcliffe will discuss the "fascinating and often fatal tales" of rival gangs and mob bosses in Cleveland. Doors open at 5 p.m., dinner is served at 6, and the storytelling starts at 7. (Jeff Niesel)
