NYCB Theatre at Westbury announces Joe Biden event

The Island Now

This fall, former Vice President Joe Biden will travel the nation for his American Promise Tour, a series of conversations that will go beyond the 24-hour news cycle and 140-character arguments to connect friends and neighbors around the topics that matter most.

Tickets to the American Promise Tour include a copy of Biden’s forthcoming memoir, “Promise Me, Dad: A Year of Hope, Hardship, and Purpose.”

Biden will be joined by figures from the worlds of politics, entertainment, news, philanthropy, sports, and literature in each city.

On Monday, Nov. 27 at 8:30 p.m., he will be in conversation with NBC News “Today Show” anchor Al Roker at NYCB Theatre at Westbury.

During these conversations, Biden will reveal the big political moments of his career, the life-altering choices he made, and the key traits that have helped him persevere through challenges and live with purpose. He will discuss “Promise Me, Dad,” which chronicles 2015, the most momentous and challenging year in his extraordinary life and career.

For twelve months, the vice president balanced the twin imperatives of living up to his responsibilities to his country and his family while his son Beau battled brain cancer. Never far away was the insistent question of whether he should seek the presidency in 2016.

Writing with poignancy and immediacy, Biden allows readers to feel the urgency of each moment, to experience the days when he felt unable to move forward, as well as the days when he felt like he could not afford to stop.

Biden says, “Writing the book about my son Beau was a deeply personal process. It’s my hope that these discussions about the book will allow people going through similar difficulties to relate and maybe find some hope and purpose in times of severe loss.”

Audio from these conversations will be recorded by Audible, the world’s largest seller and producer of digital spoken word entertainment, and edited into an original program that will be available for download exclusively from Audible in late spring 2018.

“Conversations with Joe,” the audible original of Biden’s tour conversations is part of the company’s ongoing effort to produce outstanding, original content specifically for the ear, and to share those audio-only experiences with Audible’s millions of listeners around the world.

Tickets to the 19-city nationwide American Promise Tour and a full list of moderators are available at JoeBidenBook.com.
