Upcoming Big Read Programs
"Call of the Wild: The Life of Jack London," by Live Oakes Educational Theater: The Big Read’s culminating event features a two-hour performance, during which actor/scholar Michael Oakes tells the greatest story Jack London ever wrote: his own life. From the age of nine, London toiled as a "wage-slave" factory worker, oyster pirate, sailor, writer, and rancher. In his 40 short years, London roamed the globe from the Klondike to the South Seas, and Asia. He twice ran for mayor of Oakland, and was recruited as a presidential candidate.
