The 2023 Marilyn Rodman Legacy Award

Picture
Paul Beck embodies the characteristics of Marilyn Rodman through his strong community spirit, his passion for the arts and his focus on equity and access for all. His work around the community exemplifies these characteristics.

Paul has been involved with Foxboro Cable Access for more than 20 years, ensuring the happenings of the community are accessible and archived for all to enjoy. His creation and development of a full-scale television production facility at the Foxboro High School Auditorium has been in use for almost 20 years and his work in various organizations such as the Society of Motion Picture and Television Engineers and The Museum of Broadcast Technology enhance the work he does in Foxboro.

Paul's energy, spirit and sense of humor are contagious and it is with great pride and excitement that we presented Paul Beck with the 2023 Marilyn Rodman Legacy Award.

Help Build Up Our Community

The Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center is a home to so many arts and culture organizations who rely on our stage to present works with and for the communities they serve. Our patrons have a home where they can gather with a friend, socialize and enjoy performances together. Art is an integral part of community and without it, we aren't as strong, we aren't as creative and we aren't as unified.
