The University celebrated
playwright Arthur Miller's
career and unveiled
proposed architectural renderings
for the new theater that will
bear his name during a Nov. 15
gathering in Manhattan spearheaded
by another alumnus, two-time
Tony winner Jeffrey
Seller. Alumnus and
Regent Emeritus Robert
Nederlander and his
wife, Gladys, hosted
the event at the Richard
Rodgers Theatre, where
graduates and faculty
members of the School
of Music brought Broadway,
opera, dance, jazz
and classical violin
to "Michigan
on Broadway: A Tribute to Arthur
Miller." Shown here are President
Mary Sue Coleman, Miller, and
actor and alumnus James Earl
Jones. The Arthur Miller Theatre,
seating 250, will be a flexible
space with full scene and costume
shops, and dressing rooms. It
will be part of Walgreen Center
on North Campus and is made possible
in part by a $10 million gift
from alumnus Charles Walgreen
Jr. (Photo
