Come hear New York Times bestselling author Jessica Radloff take fans behind the scenes of Young Sheldon, the beloved hit comedy that turned a familiar TV character into a funny, tender, family-centered story of growing up different. Whether you loved The Big Bang Theory, fell for the Cooper family, or simply enjoy smart entertainment stories, this event will help you revisit a favorite show with fresh eyes, enjoy the insider stories behind its making, and reflect on why stories about family, childhood, belonging, and being “the odd one out” resonate so deeply.
And there’s more for fans of The Big Bang Theory universe: Matt Hobby, cast member of Young Sheldon and Georgie & Mandy’s First Marriage, will join Jessica Radloff on stage for a lively conversation about the series from the inside. Together, Jessica and Matt will give attendees the chance to move beyond simply watching a favorite show and hear what it was like to help create its world—sharing memories, perspectives, and behind-the-scenes stories that can deepen your connection to the characters and moments you already love. It’s a rare opportunity to experience Young Sheldon through both the storyteller who documented its history and an actor who lived it.
