A Grand Night for Singing
Musical Revue by Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein II
A Grand Night For Singing opened the 1994 Broadway season and received a Tony nomination for Best Musical. This musical revue includes more than thirty Rodgers and Hammerstein songs, classics, and lesser-known discoveries. By virtually any standard, Richard Rodgers was the pre-eminent theatre composer of the 20th century. His melodies are charming, carefree, bittersweet, inspirational, haunting, and lilting. For sixty years, Richard Rodgers dedicated his life to the musical theatre.
Tuesdays with Morrie
By Mitch Albom Jeffrey Hatcher, Based on the best-selling book by Mitch Albom
The play tells the real-life story of Morrie Schwartz, a former college professor and his former student Mitch Albom, now an accomplished journalist who is driven solely by his career. When Mitch learns his old college professor, Morrie is battling Lou Gehrig's disease, he decides to visit him. What begins as a single Tuesday visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a final course on the meeting of life. It is a "touching, life-affirming, deeply emotional drama with a generous dose of humor" (NY Daily News).SRO is touring its critically aclaimed award-winning production of Tuesdays with Morrie, starring Ronald E. Nocks as Morrie Schwartz and Equity Actor Frank A. Barnhart as Mitch Albom. Both actors received awards of Excellence in Acting from the Central Ohio Theatre Roundtable. The production received an Outstanding Production award and Director Karen Carpenter was honored with Excellence in Directing.
