Watch: Tickets On Sale Wednesday To See Tom Hanks On Tulsa Book Tour Stop

Award-winning actor Tom Hanks is coming to Tulsa, and tickets go on sale on Wednesday, March 15.

The actor will be talking about his first novel. The event will be hosted by Magic City Books and is still a couple of months away. Hanks is gearing up to release the novel, "The Making of Another Major Motion Picture Masterpiece." The book is a fictional piece about the making of a superhero action film inspired by comic books.

Pat Cawiezell works at Magic City Books and says the actor is excited about the event.

"Tom Hanks has an interest in Tulsa. Tom Hanks is interested in the Greenwood story, the story of the Tulsa Race Massacre, and how Greenwood was able to kind of revitalize and recharge. And he has been public about not knowing this history until very recently, even though he's a history buff,” Cawiezell said.

Cawiezell says the event is planned for just a few days after his book is released, so Tulsa is one of the first stops on his tour.

He says more than 2,000 will be available to fill the Tulsa Performing Arts Center.

"Being able to get back together in a room. We've been able to do that for a little while now and have people all kind of gathered together and all this excitement because someone wrote a book. And we're all going to hear about that book and read that book, and that's a pretty special thing,” Cawiezell said.

You can get tickets on the TPAC website at 10:30 a.m. Wednesday.

Cawiezell expects them to sell fast. Each ticket comes with a copy of Hank's novel.

The event is set for Saturday, May 13.
