Tickets Available for Maurice Sendak Memorial A limited number of tickets to a memorial service next week for Maurice Sendak are being made available to the public. The service will be held at 11 a.m. on Tuesday, June 12, in the Grace Rainey Rogers Auditorium at the Metropolitan Museum of Art. People interested in tickets can send an e-mail to Sendakmemorial@gmail.com. There is a limit of two per request, and those seeking tickets will be notified by e-mail. Mr. Sendak, the author of "Where the Wild Things Are" and many other children's books, died last month. The playwright Tony Kushner, a friend of Mr. Sendak, said several people who knew the author thought it was a good idea to reserve some seats for the public "because his work meant so much to so many people, and it meant a lot to him that people loved" his books. Approximately 100 tickets will be available.
