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 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 is $20. Tonight, local author and scholar James Badal talks about the devastating Collinwood school fire of 1908, the subject of his latest book. Doors open at 5 p.m., dinner is served at 6, and the storytelling starts at 7. (Niesel)
