DESCRIPTION:Cost : $15 per person\n\nReception with Tapas and Wine (sold by the glass) 
 to follow\n\nMad City Chickens is a story about chickens in the city, or 
 more appropriately, a set of several stories. As close to universal as a 
 food source can be, chickens and their eggs were once a regular element of 
 many a family's lives in the U.S., and remain so throughout the world. That 
 way of life largely disappeared in this country, though, due to the rise of 
 industrial farming, but is slowly returning to many cities as people 
 rediscover the experience of keeping the birds in their 
 backyards.\n\nMadison is a leader in this movement, starting with members 
 of the self-described Chicken Underground who illegally raised the birds 
 for years before a limited amount of chicken-keeping was authorized by the 
 city back in 2004.\n\nThus was the stage set for the film, which deftly 
 weaves multiple stories and contextual issues about urban chickens and 
 their keepers in a non-linear fashion that one rarely sees in a 
 documentary, particularly one so focused on introducing a novel concept. 
 While Mad City Chickens is not a direct advocacy documentary, it does a 
 great job of piquing one's interest in taking the poultry plunge, not to 
 mention partaking in a big omelet or plate of grilled pollo.\n\n
