A.C.T. Studio Theatre presents “Tuesdays with Morrie” by Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom

The Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom stage version of the best-selling book by Albom made its Off-Broadway debut in 2002.  This touching, life-affirming play with a good dose of humor offers lasting inspiration.  As a sample, Albom writes "If you lead your life as Morrie did" with people as the priority, making memories, giving of yourself' then when you die, you're not really gone.  You live inside the hearts of everyone you've ever touched."

An accomplished and career-driven journalist reunites with his former college professor, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life.  "Unforgettable!  No matter how well you tell the story, the play makes it more vivid, more shattering, more humorous."  NY Magazine.

Stuart Mohr, who co-directed the play with H. G. Brown, said " . . . the production's dates make it a perfect match for Father's Day.  As a true story, many people will be familiar with the book, but will be moved by seeing it come to life on stage.  This show has the full range of human emotion by being both poignant and funny.  A real "laughter through the tears" as they say."

H.G. Brown (Morrie Schwartz) and Stuart Mohr (Mitch Albom), both accomplished actors and directors in their own right, will bring "Tuesdays with Morrie" to life at A.C.T. Studio Theatre on June 2, 3, 8, 9, 10, 15, 16, 17. 
Friday and Saturday evening performances are at 8 p.m.; Sunday matinees are at 3 p.m.
