Tuesdays with Morrie at Sierra Madre Playhouse

This play will run in repertory with Stuart Little, the subject of a separate release. Mitch Albom, on his graduation day from Brandeis University, promises to stay in touch with his beloved sociology professor, Morrie Schwartz. Mitch gets busy with life and doesn't keep his promise. At first, he's a jazz pianist, but abandons that career when he becomes successful as a sports journalist and sportscaster. One night, he sees Morrie on ABC-TV's Nightline with Ted Koppel. Morrie's joie de vivre in the face of his challenges from Lou Gehrig's Disease captivates the Nightline audience. Mitch re-connects with Morrie, flying in to see him ultimately every Tuesday (hence this play's title). In the time that Morrie has left, he will equip Mitch for his life ahead.
