Discovery Theatre and Author’s Corner will host some of today’s most dynamic science authors for a full day of readings, activities, and presentations in Discovery Theatre. Pick up a copy of the newest titles and meet our distinguished authors in person in Authors Corner. Great books make the most complicated topics accessible and exciting. Enjoy readings, discussions, and other activities throughout the day.
The Discovery Theater is located on the 8th floor of the Kimmel Center—right above the Street-Fair. All book signings will be in the Authors Corner, just down the hall from Discovery Theater.
