Tuesdays With
Morrie
benefits hospice
The play Tuesdays with Morrie is coming to the Gibraltar Room in Williams Lake on Jan. 26 for one performance only starting at 7:30 p.m.
Tuesdays with Morrie is a touching, life-affirming drama with a generous dose of humour, which has produced standing ovations from 45,000 people and counting. Written by J. Hatcher and M. Alborn, the play stars Antony Holland in his Jessie Award winning role as Professor Morrie Schwartz and Antonio Gradanti as Mitch.
It is a heartwarming story about a student and a teacher who were close while the student is at university but as life goes on lose touch. Then they rekindle their friendship later in life after the professor is struck with a life-threatening illness.
Proceeds from the play will go to the Central Cariboo Hospice and Palliative Care Society.
Tickets are $15 and available at the Open Book, Bean Counter and Hospice office at 530 Fourth Ave. North and at the door on a first come first serve basis.
