Arts Passport Book Club
In partnership with Tombolo Books
When most people think of a book club, they picture polite nodding, mild-mannered gossip, and a collective agreement to pretend everyone read past chapter two. We do not do that here. This season, we are pushing the boundaries even further—trading the conference room for the theater to dissect high-stakes drama, literary satire, and the brilliant minds who write them.
We have two spectacular performance-based meetups on the horizon. Here is how we are breaking it down:
August Book Club
At All Cost
- The Book: The Nickel Boys by Colson Whitehead
- When: Saturday, August 1 at 2:00 p.m. @ Stageworks
- The Vibe: High-stakes, intense, and uncompromising.
We are kicking off August with a production that promises to be exactly as urgent and gripping as its title suggests. This isn't passive viewing; it’s a psychological pressure cooker that will leave our post-show discussion absolutely combustible.

Septmeber Book Club
Jane Austen in 89 Minutes
- The Book: The Other Bennet Sister by Janice Hadlow
- When: Sunday, September 27 at 3:00 p.m. @ Stageworks
- The Vibe: A breathless, witty, literary sprint—with a side of accountability.
In September, we are putting Regency romance on a strict timer. This is a brilliant, fast-paced whirlwind through Austen’s universe that subverts every trope you think you know.
