Class | Registration opens Monday, March 16, 2026 10:00 AM EST
The Fabulous Baker Boys (1989) deals with two talented jazz-piano-playing brothers, Jack and Frank Baker, played by Beau and Jeff Bridges, who make a living performing bland lounge music. Their act is transformed when they hire Susie Diamond, played by Michelle Pfeiffer, a brassy, soulful singer whose magnetic charm revitalizes their trio and stirs up tension between the brothers. Blending sharp wit, and emotional complexity, the film explores ambition, family loyalty, and the complex chemistry of creative partnerships. The film will be shown followed by a discussion.
