At this year’s Performing Arts Center Fundraiser Gala, we are thrilled to present an exclusive, themed dinner curated by one of the most exciting culinary talents of our time, Chef Alexis Dubois. Known for her innovative fusion of classical techniques and bold, contemporary flavors, Chef Dubois will transport guests on a culinary journey that mirrors the creativity and artistry showcased on our stage.

Inspired by the theme of “The Magic of the Arts,” Chef Dubois has designed a multi-course experience that weaves together visual artistry, seasonal ingredients, and global influences. Each dish will reflect a different facet of the performing arts—from the delicate, almost theatrical presentation of the opening course, to the dramatic flair of the main entrée. Guests will savor dishes like “Choreographed Charred Scallops,” “Symphonic Lamb with Herb-Crust” and “Operatic Chocolate Torte,” each carefully crafted to excite the senses and leave a lasting impression.

Experience an unforgettable evening of music and magic at the Lab Center! Join us for our Gala Fundraiser featuring a special guest appearance you won’t want to miss. Known for his electrifying performances and unmatched artistry, this performer will light up the stage with soulful melodies and vibrant energy, alongside other special guest appearances from local performers.
