St. Francis College

Joan Copeland, Broadway actress and sister of the late playwright Arthur Miller headlined the first ever American Drama Conference ... at St. Francis College November 7 to November 9, with a one woman performance presented in three parts representing Miller’s take on their mother Augusta Barnett Miller. Copeland began with a reading from Miller’s memoir Timebends: A Life, where he painted a vivid picture of Augusta. Copeland then moved to the grand piano to reprise the role of Rose Baum, based on Augusta and which Copeland played in Miller’s play The American Clock. The performance concluded with an emotional reading of the ending monologue from Death of A Salesman. stfranciscollege.edu
