Tuesdays with Morrie Special Performance October 20, 2012
On Saturday October 20th, the ALS Society of Alberta and Rosebud Centre of the Arts are partnering for a special matinee performance of Rosebud Theatre’s fall drama, Tuesdays with Morrie. Tuesdays with Morrie tells the true story of the relationship between accomplished sports writer, Mitch Albom, and his beloved former college professor, Morrie Schwartz, who is dying of Lou Gehrig’s disease (ALS). For every ticket booked with a special code for this Saturday show, Rosebud Centre of the Arts will donate $5 to the ALS Society of Alberta.
“We’re delighted to partner with the ALS Society of Alberta to help promote awareness of the excellent services and support they provide for those living with this disease,” says Adam Furfaro, Executive Director of Rosebud Centre of the Arts. “We are hopeful that Morrie’s story can bring some comfort and joy to those whose lives have been affected by ALS, including friends and family supporting a loved one.” Furfaro continues, “The show’s powerful yet simple message resonated deeply with audiences on opening weekend. Many patrons remarked that the number of laughs equaled the number of tears. Gather up your loved ones and come see this show together.”
Tickets can then be purchased online at www.rosebudtheatre.com or by calling 1-800-267-7553. Show ticket includes a buffet lunch at the Rosebud Mercantile at 11:00 am with the performance to follow at 1:30 pm in the Opera House. Rosebud Theatre is about an hour’s drive northeast of Calgary, nestled in the picturesque country hamlet of Rosebud, Alberta.
