University President Lee Bollinger saw the need to attract national and international theatrical talent to Ann Arbor - hoping that some of the theater's veterans would stay on campus long enough to teach their trade for a semester or two.
Miller Theatre could open in less than two years
While a student at the University, Arthur Miller won two prestigious Hopwood awards for playwriting. His play "No Villain," first won him a Hopwood in 1936. A play he wrote in 1937, entitled "Honors at Dawn," then won him Hopwood honors for a second time. Miller graduated in 1938 with a degree in English literature.
Miller began rich writing career while still at 'U'
The summer brought us "There's Something About Mary."
The first two weeks of the fall movie season have already brought us something about Meryl, something about Matt Damon, something about martial arts and something about a very short child.

Listen to bawdy humor, gnaw on a whole turkey leg, and practice your bad English accent this weekend by traveling to Holly, Mich., and attending the last two days of the 1998 Michigan Renaissance Festival.
In May, I spent a warm three days ascending and descending Mount Chocorua. For spring term, I had decided to try to make the most out of my existence by participating in the English department's New England Literature Program. NELP, as it is commonly called, is a six-week, intensive course figuring in the study of New England's authors and poets. I love literature, and I imagined it to be a worthwhile experience.
