California Theatre's One Unforgettable 'Tuesday'

Ten years ago I spent a few nights in Yalta, on the northern coast of the Black Sea. Lying on atop a picnic table, gazing into the crisp, unpolluted atmosphere I witnessed the most marvelous shooting star I've ever seen. It only lasted the better part of a second, but it was enormous. A brilliant blueish-white flame burning half the size of the moon.

Reminds me of Worldwide Theatricals' one-night production of "Tuesdays with Morrie," starring Jeremy Magouirk and Sam Nisbett. A bittersweet memory I trust will be with me years from now. Sweet because such a lustrous amalgamation of talents is rare to behold. Bitter because there are so few people that relate to the cathartic experience.
