Tuesdays with Morrie
by Jeffrey Hatcher & Mitch Albom
The play is based on the autobiographical story by Mitch Albom about an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie's appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig's Disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life. This story proves that sometimes when you lose your way, you find it again in the most unexpected places.
