StoryCourse has announced their latest interactive culinary theater experience, Pride Table, celebrating WorldPride and the 50th anniversary of the Stonewall Riots. The events will take place between June 2-29 at 391 6th Avenue.

StoryCourse produces uniquely moving and delicious theatrical dining experiences which tell the stories of marginalized voices. The story informs the menu and the menu informs the story.

StoryCourse founders Adam Kantor (The Band's Visit) and Brian Bordainick (founder of the Dinner Lab underground supper club) have partnered with Tony-nominated director Michael Arden (Once on This Island, King Lear), production designer Jason Sherwood (Rent Live), and lighting designer Brian Tovar collectively as Livesight; writer Benj Pasek (Dear Evan Hansen); Joshua D. Reid (A Christmas Carol); producers Eleni Gianulis (ElsieFest) and Sean Bradford (The Lion King); and Queer Food activists Ora Wise and Liz Alpern for this special Pride series.

Pride Table is described as follows: "Five courses. Five personal stories from a diverse and intergenerational team of LGBTQ chefs. A month long pop-up theatrical dining experience which will take place just blocks from where Pride began — in the historic neighborhood of Greenwich Village."
