In partnership with Townie Books/Rumors Coffee and Tea House, 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.

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.

Tonites Play Discussion: The Lion in Winter

Sibling rivalry, adultery, and dungeons – The Lion in Winter, by James Goldman, is a modern-day classic. Comedic in tone, dramatic in action – the play tells the story of the Plantagenet family, who are locked in a free-for-all of competing ambitions to inherit a kingdom.
