Mitch Albom didn’t realize his education wasn’t over when he left Brandeis University.
And although he eventually received two graduate degrees from Columbia University, a valuable part of his education came during weekly visits to the home of a dying former professor, Morrie Schwartz.
The stage production of the autobiographical, best-selling book about their actual visits, “Tuesdays With Morrie,” will be presented by Closed Door Entertainment at the Catoosa County Colonnade beginning tonight.
The lesson Albom learned, and which audiences should pick up, according to director J.C. Smith, is “to live your life; don’t just exist.”
