  • Firebird: Built to Burn Theatrical Premiere

    The Colonial Theatre 227 Bridge Street, Phoenixville, PA, United States

    A Story That’s Waited Eighteen Years To Be Told! Firebird: Built to Burn delves into a year in the making of the beloved Firebird Festival, where a tight-knit community gathers every December to ignite a giant wooden phoenix.
