Pacific Theatre to Present TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE 9/14-9/24
By: Lauren Wolman Aug. 12, 2011
Mitch Albom is a high-flying sports journalist who has made a name for himself as they guy who always says yes. That is, until he is stopped short by the sight of his former college professor and mentor featured on Nightline - because he is dying. What starts as a one-time obligatory visit to appease his conscience becomes a weekly pilgrimage for Morrie Schwartz's master class in the meaning of life. From the New York Times best-selling autobiography originally written to help pay Schwartz's medical bills.
Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre artistic director, finds one of the most notable aspects of this play to be "the depth and intimacy of the relationship between these two men. In our culture, relationships between men don't always scratch below the surface. Yet I believe deep within each man's soul, there longs for connection with other men who inspire, encourage and walk-alongside us, to help us make sense of what it means to be a man intellectually, emotionally, and spiritually."Formed in 1991, Gallery 7 Theatre is the primary source for live theatre in Abbotsford. Founded by artistic director Ken Hildebrandt, Gallery 7 Theatre strives to bring locally-grown, professional quality live theatre to residents of the Fraser Valley.
