About this event
Gershwin’s Bess | Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Milford Sunday, September 20, 2026 | 2-3 p.m. Gershwin’s Bess takes place at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church in Milford on Sunday, September 20, from 2-3 p.m. This free event is part of the Milford Readers and Writers Festival. The program features an interview with author Lisa Winkler about the story behind her historical fiction writing. Her journey began with a curiosity about Anne Wiggins Brown and her role as the leading lady in George Gershwin’s Porgy & Bess. Winkler discovered that Brown’s story had not been told and set out to explore it through her writing. During the session, she will also discuss the obstacles and challenges she encountered on the road to publication. Gershwin’s Bess in Milford offers fans of historical fiction, opera and writing a closer look at Lisa Winkler’s creative and publishing journey.
