Jimmy’s Book Club

In partnership with Townie Books, Firebird presents Jimmy’s Book Club! Resident book enthusiast Jimmy Utley leads a monthly discussion of plays that have had an impact not only on the theatrical world, but the social world as well. Emphasis will be placed on variety, with classic and contemporary selections, authors with varied backgrounds, interesting thematic concepts, different genres, etc. You can pick up a copy of the month’s selection at Townie Books, give it a good read, and then come to Jimmy’s discussion for a fun and fascinating conversation about these amazing plays and playwrights.

February’s selection will be Christopher Durang’s farcical comedy Vanya and Sonia and Masha and Spike.
