Spend AN EVENING WITH HENRY WINKLER At The Carpenter Center This April

The charming and hilarious Henry Winkler appears at the Carpenter Center, located on the campus of California State University, Long Beach, on Saturday, April 6 at 8 p.m.

The Emmy Award-winning actor, author, producer, and director shares humorous anecdotes and inspirational lessons from his life and storied career, including his struggles with undiagnosed dyslexia, and behind-the-scenes stories of his life on screen.

“Henry Winkler is a treasure,” says Executive Director Megan Kline Crockett. “Fans know him as the epitome of cool as ‘The Fonz' on Happy Days and for his delightfully quirky roles on Arrested Development and HBO's Barry. I can't wait for audiences to experience firsthand his comedic sensibility and be inspired by his gratitude and generosity.”

Winkler's appearance also includes a post-appearance book signing. A limited number of copies of his New York Times bestseller Being Henry will be available for purchase.
