TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE Performed As AST's 1st Play At Raymond James 6/3-28

American Stage Theatre Company performs its first play at the Raymond James Theater, its new performance space, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE by Jeffrey Hatcher after Mitch Albom, running June 3 thru 28.

One of the Top 10 most-produced plays in America this season, TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE is Jeffrey Hatcher's comic and moving dramatization of the story that was on the New York Times Best-Seller List for more than four years. It is the autobiographical story of celebrated journalist Mitch Albom, his former college professor Morrie Schwartz, and what happens when both are reunited for one of the last great classes on the meaning of life.

Directed by T. Scott Wooten (SLEUTH), TUESDAYS WITH MORRIE stars Chaz Mena (BY THE WATERS OF BABYLON) and American Stage newcomer Michael Edwards.

"It's very rare in theatre that you get to open a brand new performance space, so I'm very happy that we get to break the seal on the Raymond James Theater with this timeless play about celebrating the past and moving on to better places," said Todd Olson, producing artistic director. "This is a very funny and poignant play that is sure to begin great new memories for American Stage and its patrons."
