Tuesdays With Morrie portrays the touching true story of sociologist Morrie Schwartz and his relationship with his student, Mitch Albom. The play is an awakening chronicle of the life lessons that Mitch learns from his professor, who is dying from amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig's Disease.

A Life in the Theatre focuses on the relationship between two actors, the play's only characters. Robert is a stage veteran whilst John is a young, promising actor. As the play goes on they are involved in a variety of productions, and gradually their relationship begins to change.
