Today we cast a spotlight on Buffalo acting legend Jack Hunter, who stars with Adam Yellen in next month’s Jewish Repertory Theatre’s (JRT) production of Tuesdays with Morrie.  The JRT was founded in 2002 by David Buins and Saul Elkin.  Nearly twenty years ago, Jack appeared in the JRT ‘s The Price with Saul. In Buffalo, Jack has been presented four Artie Awards as Best Actor.  While working in Los Angeles, he starred as Walter in the short film Songbird which premiered at Robert Redford’s Sundance Film Festival and later screened on the Sundance TV channel. You can also see Jack on Amazon Prime’s Honest Ads, as Roger Horton.  For more information on Jack, visit his website here.

Tuesdays with Morrie by Mitch Albom and Jeffrey Hatcher runs from February 2-26 at the JCC.  Based on the 2006 best-selling memoir, Tuesdays with Morrie is the autobiographical story of Mitch Albom, an accomplished journalist driven solely by his career, and Morrie Schwartz, his former college professor. Sixteen years after graduation, Mitch happens to catch Morrie’s appearance on a television news program and learns that his old professor is battling Lou Gehrig’s Disease. Mitch is reunited with Morrie, and what starts as a simple visit turns into a weekly pilgrimage and a last class in the meaning of life.
