There will be two different Tom Swift live performances in the style of old time radio dramas.

The UCSD Arts Library celebrates the Tom Swift Centennial with an exhibit of artwork, books and other Tom Swift treasures on the lower level, West wing of Geisel Library at UCSD starting June 1, 2010 and ending July 31, 2010.

Join us for two special live events at the UCSD exhibit site. On Monday, June 14 at noon we present a live, radio drama re-enactment of Tom Swift and his Air Ship. On Friday, July 16 at 4:00 p.m. we present a live radio drama re-enactment of Tom Swift and the Visitor from Planet X. Actors from San Diego’s Write Out Loud will perform along with the UCSD Arts Library’s own Scott Paulson providing live music & old-school radio sound effects.

Refreshments are served at both of these live events. Admission is free and the public is invited. Tom Swift scholar James Keeline will speak briefly at both events.

This will be followed by an encore performance of Tom Swift and His Airship at the Tom Swift 100 Convention, Saturday July 17th at 8pm at the Sheraton Mission Valley. This event will be open to the public (seating will be limited) and donations will be taken at the door.
