Anna Pileggi directs "Tuesdays with Morrie"

Anna Pileggi, Professor of the Practice in Drama is the director for Tuesdays with Morrie, currently playing at the New Jewish Theatre.

The show will run from October 4 - 22, 2017.The play is an adaption of the much loved book by Mitch Albom.

According to Pileggi, "It's been a wonderful experience exploring the legacy of Morrie Schwartz, Professor of Sociology at Brandeis University, my graduate school alma mater.  I was at Brandeis in the late '80's when Morrie was still teaching.  Although I never got to meet him, as I have worked on this play, it has become a source of joy and comfort to know we share that point of connection.  He was a truly inspirational man and teacher."
