What's Booming: Led Zeppelin, Plants, and ANN
Some inspiring events, some entertaining events, some green thumb events
Firehouse Theatre has re-opened their doors (in the most socially distant way possible) for their upcoming performance, ANN. This wildly impressive (and oh-so timely) one-woman show centers around historic revolutionary political figure Ann Richards. Unfortunately, the real Ann Richards has passed away – otherwise you may have found the perfect write-in candidate. Through Sunday, Oct. 25 at Firehouse Theatre.
The Tale of the Tee book features an honest, open, interracial dialogue between an African American man and a white Jewish man, reflecting on their personal stories and backgrounds. See the book play out in real life at the upcoming Meet the Authors event, a virtual lecture featuring authors BK Fulton and Jonathan Blank. Bonus: it’ll be moderated by our own editor Annie Tobey! Friday, Sept. 18 at 5:30 p.m.
