Tuesdays with Morrie is the autobiographical story of Detroiter, Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist and radio broadcaster solely driven by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie’s appearance on Nightline 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.
VNA & Blue Water Hospice is excited to sponsor this wonderful production by ThumbcoastTheatres as it fits directly into the mission of the organization – providing high quality health care to patients and families coping with short-term, long-term, and/or end-of-life care. “We are proud to sponsor this production – this story brings to light hospice care where the term ‘hospice’ if often considered taboo – as if one is giving up. This is simply not true. Hospice is a philosophy of care that allows a patient and their loved ones to focus on quality of life by providing physical, emotional, and spiritual comfort.”
The production runs June 7 – 30 at the Boardwalk Theater in St. Clair, Michigan. Showtimes are Fridays and Saturday at 7:30 p.m., and Sundays at 3 p.m. Tickets are available for purchase at thumbcoasttheaters.com.
