Jack London: Eyewitness to the Great Quake

Jack London: Eyewitness to the Great Quake is a dynamic portrait of California through the eyes of the renowned author, adventurer and social crusader, Jack London, as performed by Michael Oakes, artistic director of Live Oakes Educational Theater. Follow London as he journeyed throughout the region documenting the devastation of the 1906 earthquake –one of the most articulate of the eyewitness accounts.

This program is part of Livermore Reads Together, a community-wide reading program featuring James Dalessandro’s book, "1906: A Novel," about the San Francisco earthquake and fire.
