Tuesdays With Morrie
Sep 25, 2009 to Sep 26, 2009 - Tuesdays with Morrie by Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom, based on a book by Mitch Albom, is directed by Mario Carnevale (Lost in Yonkers, The Graduate, A Christmas Story). It stars James Neely as Morrie and Clinton Hammond as Mitch. Tuesdays with Morrie is about Mitch, an accomplished sports journalist, and Morrie, his former college professor. Sixteen years after Mitch graduates, he sees Morrie on Ted Koppel’s Nightline, where Morrie is discussing his battle with Lou Gehrig’s disease. Morrie is the same - witty and amazingly upbeat - but over the years, Mitch has become a career-obsessed man who feels a definite lack in his life. After the Nightline interview, the two reconnect and what starts out as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage - a final class in the meaning of life. Tuesdays with Morrie is a magical chronicle of their time together, through which Mitch shares Morrie’s lasting gift with the world. Tuesdays With Morrie has become a landmark in the popular culture, first promoted in 1997 on Oprah Winfrey’s book club, and then appearing on The New York Times Best Seller list for over five years. Tuesdays With Morrie has been published in 34 countries, in 30 languages with over 11 million copies in print.
