The event is on Saturday, November 2nd at 1:00 pm.
On Saturday, November 2nd at 1:00 pm the Palace Theater in Waterbury will welcome New York Times bestselling author Fiona Davis. In her thrilling novel, The Spectacular, about a talented young Rockette and a mysterious bomber terrorizing New York City, Davis transports us back to 1950s Manhattan and the glamorous Radio City Music Hall. The book combines fact and fiction, setting a cast of mostly fictional characters against the backdrop of real-life events and places. It even features a gripping Waterbury-connected plotline!
This “in conversation with” style author talk is moderated by Waterbury author Charles Monagan, playwright and lyricist of Mad Bomber, the musical based on the same "Big Apple Bomber" antagonist in Davis’ book. This event is made possible through the support of Timothy W. & Mary Ellen Rourke and the Republican American.
Tickets are $20 and are offered on a first come, first served basis as seating is limited. A meet and greet option with lunch is scheduled for 11:30 am and is available for an additional $20.
Tickets and more information are available at palacetheaterct.org or 203-346-2000.
