A string quartet of U-M graduate students played Mozart on the Rackham Auditorium stage as several hundred faculty, students and friends and family of entrepreneur Charles R. Walgreen, Jr. and playwright Arthur Miller took their seats for a 10 a.m. Friday naming ceremony for the planned Charles R. Walgreen, Jr. Drama Center and Arthur Miller Theatre. “The world saw Arthur Miller through many lenses; we will always see him, first and foremost, as a loyal alumnus,” said U-M President Mary Sue Coleman, who praised Walgreen and Miller for demonstrating the power of the Michigan Difference, along with Avery Hopwood, who created a writing awards program (Miller won a Hopwood for his first play).

Clockwise from bottom left: Walgreen’s grandson and State Sen. Liz Brater display a State of Michigan resolution honoring his grandfather and Miller; Copeland performs selections from Miller’s “Timebends: A Life,” and “The American Clock;” Robert Miller reads from his late father’s letter to the House Un-American Activities Committee refusing to testify; William Bolcom and George I. Shirley perform the aria from Bolcom’s operatic adaptation of Miller’s “A View from the Bridge.” The 97,500 square foot, two-story center is under construction just north of Pierpont Commons. It will house the 250-seat Arthur Miller Theatre and also will be home to the Department of Theatre and Drama and University Productions. It will feature classrooms, rehearsal spaces, a scene shop, costume shop, sound studio and faculty offices. It is scheduled for completion in summer 2007. Photos by Martin Vloet, U-M Photo Services.
