Firebird Theatre’s “Death of the Author”

May 21, 22 +23, 2026

Doors: 6:30 p.m. | Curtain: 7:00 p.m.

In our postmodern world, is there such a thing as an original idea? How do we determine what is right, and what is wrong?

When a young adjunct English professor accuses a graduating student of plagiarism in his essay on postmodernism, a battle of academic shrewdness and underhanded acts ensues, threatening to balloon and affect the professional and personal lives of four people.

Steven Drukman’s ivy-latticed dramedy explores the real motivations behind and costs of ambition and competitive careerism in academia with witty, devious precision.
