PALM DESERT, Calif. - The critically-acclaimed play, "Tuesdays with Morrie," starring Emmy and Golden Globe nominee Hal Linden, will conclude its run this weekend at the Indian Wells Theater at Cal State San Bernardino's Palm Desert Campus.

Performances will take place on Friday, Nov. 6, at 7 p.m., Saturday, Nov. 7, at 2 and 7 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 8, at 2 p.m.

Tickets can be purchased by calling the Indian Wells Theater Box Office at (760) 341-2883, ext. 78154.

Linden, who is probably best known for his role as television's "Barney Miller," stars in this tender, uplifting comedy about a life-altering friendship, based on the best-selling novel and run-away hit by Mitch Albom.

Nearly 20 years have passed since Albom last saw his favorite college professor, Morrie Schwartz, when he catches Morrie on a television interview talking about having Lou Gehrig's Disease. Albom decides to visit Morrie and realizes that he is taking one final lesson ... in how to live.

The play is directed by David Catanzarite, an adjunct faculty member at College of the Desert.

The Indian Wells Theater is located at Cal State San Bernardino's Palm Desert Campus at 37-500 Cook St., between Gerald Ford and Frank Sinatra drives in Palm Desert.
