Gobble Gobble: Turkey Calling Show Coming to La Jolla

The Turkey Calling Show is Nov. 27 at UC San Diego's Geisel Library.

Thanksgiving is right around the corner. Don't miss UC San Diego's annual Turkey Calling Show this year. The UC San Diego's annual Turkey Calling Show, at noon on Nov. 27, is presented in the style of an old-time live radio broadcast.

Attendees will get instruction on how to use turkey calls and find out how the American turkey became popular in European art.

The show is hosted by sound effects expert Scott Paulson and features the Teeny-Tiny Pit Orchestra.

Special guests include Aislinn Sotelo as "radio ballet teacher" and Melanie Peters as "story lady." In addition, it features actors Ellen Lawson and Glenn Motil, and musicians Christian Hertzog and Kirk Wang.

The Los Angeles Times has said "Paulson's brand of G-rated fun, a sort of modern day morphing of Captain Kangaroo and Spike Jones, is always lively and at times wonderfully chaotic."
