The New York State Writers Institute will present a 30th Anniversary Screening of the film, Ironweed, tomorrow night at UAlbany's Page Hall.

Adapted for the screen by William Kennedy from his Pulitzer Prize-winning novel, Ironweed was filmed at several Albany locations and brought international attention to the Capital Region and earned Oscar nominations for both Jack Nicholson and Meryl Streep.

The screening will begin at 7PM and will feature a 6:30 conversation between William Kennedy and Marion Roach.

Joe talks to people on the radio for a living. In addition to countless impressive human "gets" - he has talked to a lot of Muppets. Joe grew up in Philadelphia, has been on the area airwaves for more than 25 years and currently lives in Washington County, NY with his wife, Kelly, and their dog, Brady. And yes, he reads every single book.
