 Thanks to an ARC Grant from the Center for Cultural Innovation, the production of "T50YS" went to five cities around the United States in conjunction with the book release tour for the Pantheon release of "The Fifty Year Sword".These performances, smaller in production than the REDCAT performances, featured different actors at every city, including Saturday Night Live alum Darrell Hammond in New York.World-renowned pianist Christopher O'Riley, who is a longtime friend and fan of Danielewski, also toured with Danielewski for these performances.
