This February there are three events scheduled for Monday at The Lambs, all different, but all tied into the written word. All events begin at 7 p.m. and are held in the 5th Floor Clubhouse. To attend you must RSVP online (use the links below).

Monday, Feb. 1, The New York State Writers Hall of Fame
The New York State Writers Hall of Fame will have the announcement event held at The Lambs. This is similar to the announcements held in the early morning hours for the Academy Awards or the Tony Awards. The New York Center for the Book, a part of the U.S. Library of Congress, chooses New York State writers to be inducted annually into the Hall of Fame. In the past writers as diverse as James Fenimore Cooper and Nora Ephron have been inducted. Tonight, be the first to learn the names of the writers, authors, composers, and columnists who are joining such prestigious company. If you love books, don’t miss it. Information and RSVP here.

Monday, Feb. 22, Author Ed Hamilton
Our first book talk of 2016 is with Ed Hamilton, author of Legends of the Chelsea Hotel: Living with the Artists and the legendary Chelsea, where he lives and writes. Tonight he will give a talk, reading, and Q&A about his work and new book, The Chintz Age: Tales of Love and Loss for a New New York. Hamilton will talk about his books and answer questions about them, along with the behind-the-scenes tales of being a longtime resident and chronicler of the Chelsea Hotel. His new book is a look at the changing New York City. Information and RSVP here.

Monday, Feb. 29, The Marx Brothers A Night at the Lambs
Attend a night devoted to the Marx Brothers and the new Off-Broadway show coming to the Connelly Theatre this spring, I’ll Say Is. There will be a history talk about this “lost” Marx Brothers show, songs and music from the production, and a special appearance by Groucho himself. During the 1920s, the Marx Brothers starred in three Broadway musicals. The Cocoanuts and Animal Crackers live on as films. But the 1924 smash I’ll Say She Is was lost to history, until writer/performer/Groucho impressionist Noah Diamond spent six years researching, restoring, and adapting it. Tonight will be music from the show and a Q&A with Groucho and the creative team. Information and RSVP here.
