2nd Super September Week-end
Greetings!
Robert MillerOh, there it is. That familiar fall chill is in the air.

Cool air. Crisp smell.
Colorful week-ends.
And creative journeys with MMSC.

That's Fall 2007.

Later, at the end of this issue of Prologue, I have a question to ask you.

But for now, I am delighted to tell you about our latest adventure, Tuesdays With Morrie, which starts this coming Friday and Saturday. September 21 & 22 at Unison Arts Center in New Paltz.

Join us.

Tuesdays With Morrie  by Jeffrey Hatcher and Mitch Albom - September 21 & 22

Tuesdays With Morrie
By Jeffrey Hatcher
and Mitch Albom

A sportswriter gets coached in the game of life in this stage adaptation of the bestselling book.

Nobody knows the challenges of stage adaptations better than Jeffrey Hatcher, the Minneapolis-based playwright, who adapted
the play with [Mitch] Albom's help. 
 
"This particular challenge is that I was working with one of the characters," he says, "and you're not going to bump into that
circumstance very often." 

"One of the things we were most pleased about is that we were able to dramatize so many things that were laid out in the book. There are little secrets and cliffhangers in the play that weren't in the book." 
 
"Some of the things Mitch didn't put in the book we put in the play," Hatcher recalls. "It was fun to work those into the script. That could be a surprise for people who know the book very, very well." 

Directed by Christine Crawfis.
Featuring William Connors and Michael Frohnhoefer.

"This is a play that might - incredibly, just might - change your life." John Simon, New York Magazine

And now for that question
encorelogoEvery January and February MMSC tries to Think Again.

We present three MMSC Encores. Three previously produced performances. Brought back because you told us you missed it the first time, you loved it so much you wanted to see it again, or you wanted to share it with a friend.

Now is the time that we think about what we want to Think Again about in January and February. (Huh?)

Help us. Tell us. What would you like to see again? Check out the Past Productions/Archives on the MMSC web site (Past Productions), give it some thought, and write to us. Remember your vote does count here at MMSC.

Write to us. info@mmstageco.com. We'd love to know what you're Thinking.

Thoughtfully,

All of the Good Folks At MMSC



That's MMSC's Second September edition of Prologue.
