Rebecca Miller To Present her Documentary Arthur Miller: Writer at Minor Memorial Library in Roxbury
The Arthur Miller Writing Studio will host award-winning director Rebecca Miller for a fundraising event with a screening and discussion of her 2017 film Arthur Miller: Writer on Friday, August 8 at 5:30 PM. at the Minor Memorial Library, 23 South Street, Roxbury.
Seating is very limited and tickets will not be available at the door. Refreshments will be served. Following the screening, Rebecca will answer questions and talk about her efforts to initiate the preservation of her father’s studio in its home town of Roxbury.
The film, produced by HBO, illuminates the private life of the tremendously public playwright and captures moments between father and daughter, never before seen home video footage, and in-depth interviews with those who shared work and life with Arthur.
Tickets are available at $150 each and will help support raising the funds needed to move the legendary playwright’s Roxbury studio building to a site adjacent to the Minor Library. Tickets can be purchased using the Eventbrite link.
