3 Things To Do At The Tewksbury Library On Wednesday, August 29

Below are 3 things happening at the Tewksbury Public Library on Wednesday, August 29, 2018.

FOR ADULTS

LIVING HISTORY SERIES: An Evening with Albert Einstein

Wednesday, August 29, 6:30pm

Actor George Capaccio will perform his one-man show, "Albert Einstein: Reluctant Superstar." For many people, the name “Einstein” is synonymous with scientific genius and intellectual greatness. His insights into the ultimate unity of space and time, and his revolutionary concept of gravity certainly qualify him as one of the greatest minds of all time. But his passion for science was matched by his commitment to social justice, human rights, and worldwide disarmament. During the 20s and 30s, Einstein’s public opposition to war — in addition to his scientific notoriety — nearly cost him his life in Nazi Germany and forced him to seek refuge in America. In this performance, George will focus on Einstein’s later years as an outspoken “rebel with a cause.” As a “reluctant superstar,” Einstein was never entirely comfortable with his celebrity and the frequent invasions of his privacy. Due to the expected heat, the performance will take place inside the library. Register HERE.
