Roger Kabler as Robin Williams. A Kick-Off Event for Adult Summer Reading.
Thursday, June 25, at 6:30 PM.

Roger Kabler appears as Robin in this tribute show, written by Roger in recreation of a Robin Williams comedy special.

Roger Kabler was an actor who had a successful Hollywood career. He has produced and starred in two films, "Who the Hell is Bobby Roos" (2000) and most recently "Being Robin" (2024) where he documents his experience with Robin Williams and how the tribute came to be.

Registration is required. Visit our Events Page.

This program is free and is supported by a grant from the Blackstone Cultural Council, a local agency, which is supported by the Mass Cultural Council, a state agency.

"Plant a Seed, Read" is rooted in the concept of farm to table. A farm grows food that nourishes our bodies; a library grows ideas that nourish our minds. Both food and stories connect us to our family, culture, economy, and ecology. "iRead 2026: Plant a Seed, Read," will provide a context for exploring culture, history, science, health, and human connection.

Flyer includes an image from Roger's website, "robinexperience.com." Roger is dressed as Robin Williams with a big smile, standing behind a graphic banner with the name of his show.

The cover image is a watercolor illustration of a woman with dark hair and a yellow shirt standing in front of an aquarium tank.
