From February 5-February 28 Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom's TUESDAYS WITH MORIE will play at the Off-Center Playhouse. The play is the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE will by directed by Bernie Blaine and star Dick Reichman and Patrick Killorian.

Moss Hart and George S. Kaufman's YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU will run from March 12-April 3 and will be directed by Dick Reichman. Winner of the 1937 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, YOU CAN'T TAKE IT WITH YOU is a popular play of modern times that is particularly meaningful during our current climate.

Next is an award winning Canadian play about Shakespeare told from the point of view of his wife, Anne Hathaway. SHAKESPEARE'S WILL will be directed by Steve Hunt and will star Elizabeth Ware. The production will run from April 9-April 25.

From May 7-May 30 Teresa Pond with direct Tony Kushner's CAROLINE, OR CHANGE in collaboration with the Anchorage Opera. In many of its details, CAROLINE OR CHANGE draws from Kushner's childhood in 1963 Louisianna when the Civil Rights Movement was growing and addresses questions or culture, community, race and class through the relationship of a Jewish family and the black maid Caroline. The score can be described as a pop-blues opera/musical for regular folks who might cringe at the words "opera" and "musical."
