About the Play
Tuesdays with Morrie
by Jeffrey Hatcher & Mitch Albom
based on the book by Mitch Albom
directed by Benjamin Hanna
life’s greatest lesson
Morrie was Mitch’s sociology professor, but he was also his mentor, his advisor, his life coach. Now Mitch is a busy sportswriter with a frantic schedule and a troubled marriage, and Morrie is dying. One visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a final course in the meaning of life. The beloved book comes to life in this life-affirming play, full of compassion, humor, and hope.

Artistic Notes:
“When we first realized, long about last May, that the world would require different stories of us in the pandemic, one of the first plays I thought of was Tuesdays with Morrie. It contains so many of the emotions and questions we hold now, inviting us to consider deeply what it means to be alive in the face of possible death. And amazingly, witnessing Morrie’s journey is both profound and joy-filled, in part because now we are all more aware that we share this journey: the play is an open-hearted entreaty to face down the things that separate us from our best selves.” –Janet Allen, Margot Lacy Eccles Artistic Director
“If you are lucky, you know and love a Morrie. Your life-teachers may not come to mind immediately. Perhaps, like Mitch, your pursuit of progress has relegated them to the recesses of your memory. But they are there, somewhere, waiting to recount their pearls of wisdom and sage advice....I hope that Tuesdays with Morrie inspires you to remembering the words of your Morrie, whoever and wherever they may be, and that you live joyfully in our New Year.” –Benjamin Hanna, Director
