In honor of the New Orleans Tricentennial celebration, Belles Fetes Productions
launches its first season of immersive theatre & fine dining experience with Look Don’t Tell.


Look Don’t Tell follows the narrative of the infamous Pontalba family and the dramatic turn of events that leads Baroness Micaela Pontabla to fight for her legacy, and to build her real estate empire in the American Deep South. With the help (and sometimes mischief) of three mythical Louisiana characters, Belles Fetes Productions takes ticket holders on an adventure through a series of sets in various locations, to reveal the moment of truth as the plot unfolds.

As the characters draw audience members into the world of 18th Century New Orleans, local chef, Melissa Araujo (of Doris Metropolitan, Restaurant R’evolution and other chic New Orleans favorites, as well as Vitsana of Milan, Italy) presents an exquisite 6-course meal, paired with wine and cocktails, reflective of the storyline and cuisine of this French & Spanish influenced period of New Orleans.

Locations will only be revealed to ticket holders 24-hours in advance of show time — the first of many mysteries — for audience members who will be whisked away for an evening full of surprises.

Attire: Black tie or creatively elegant. Accessories are encouraged, but no masks please. There is a bit of movement through the night, select your footwear accordingly.

Patrons should expect to do some walking. There are two steep flights of stairs, and there is no access for someone who has limited mobility, unfortunately.
