Guest stars include top rated performers from current Broadway Chicago productions as well as impromptu performances by various celebrities who are passing through the Windy City.

You must be 21 and over to attend and there is a two-drink minimum per person.
The name Factory Party pays homage to the world famous night-club owned by Anthony Newley, Joan Collins, Sammy Davis, Jr. and Paul Newman in West Hollywood, CA in 1968. Their Factory night club was a re-opening of the classic 1929 venue. The first act to play the club in '68 was Frank Sinatra & The Rat Pack. The Factory Party in Chicago will take place the last two Sundays of each month starting April 12, 2009 through August 23, 2009 at Davenport's (1383 N. Milwuakee Ave. Chicago IL).
