Felicia DiNonno, founder of the Clove Creek Dinner Theater in Fishkill, NY, is the guest on this week\u2019s RadioRotary program.\n\nDinner Theater provides an evening (or afternoon matinee) that begins with a full meal, which is followed by a full theatrical performance\u2014you don\u2019t eat or drink while you watch as in a nightclub or cabaret. There have been a number of dinner theaters in nearby countries, but none here until a couple of years ago Ms. DiNonno took a space in a mall in Fishkill and opened Clove Creek. It is very much a local attraction.\nClove Creek hires chefs trained at the Culinary Institute of America in Hyde Park to prepare the four entrees from which a ticket-holder may choose. Local actors audition for all the parts in the comedies that are featured.
