Sixteen years after graduation, career-obsessed journalist Mitch reunites with his former college professor and mentor, Morrie, who is battling Lou Gehrig’s Disease (ALS). What starts as a simple visit turns into a life-changing weekly pilgrimage – always on Tuesdays – that enables Morrie to teach his final and most important lesson – how to live.
This exploration of friendship, life and death will make you cry, think, feel…but above all it will make you laugh.
The role of Morrie will be performed by Remesh Panicker (Art, Romeo & Juliet, Merchant of Venice) while Benjamin Chow (Romeo & Juliet, The LKY Musical) will perform the role of Mitch. Directed by Samantha Scott-Blackhall.

This critically acclaimed actor has worked with local and international directors, in drama and comedy, in Singapore and abroad, from Shakespeare to broad comedy.
He’s played God and the Devil, breathing life into an eclectic assortment of characters - from a talking vaudevillian chicken to Shylock, a brilliant but declining mathematician to a gormless go-between, a beloved Hindu deity to an apartheid-era African, a blue-collar Malaysian tradesman to the Ghost of Christmas Present.
Along the way, in addition to rave reviews, this former Associate Artistic Director of the Singapore Repertory Theatre has picked up 5 LIFE! Theatre Award nominations and 3 wins - Best Actor (ART), Best Supporting Actor (Proof) and again, Best Supporting Actor (Merchant of Venice), and an Asian Television Awards nomination for Best Actor (The Hush).
His forays into TV and film are more recent, with his portrayal of Nelson Kumar and Dr. D’ Silva in Weiyu Films’ The Hush and Derek, respectively. He was previously seen on local telemovies Common Space and The Learning Curve.
But Remesh’s “day-job” is not in front of the camera or under the theatre spotlight.
He’s a multi award-winning executive producer, writer, script doctor and creative consultant with extensive experience in the documentary and drama genres. He also works with corporations in several areas - providing advice on communications, strategy, creatives and production, including speechwriting for their C-suite bosses.
Remesh’s other job - professional narrator, voice talent and voice actor - is something he’s been doing for nearly 45 years. He’s clocked over 2000 hours of recordings for blue-chip commercials, corporate films, animations, on-air promos and prestigious LIVE events. But his passion is giving voice to documentaries - something he’s done for award-winning programmes on the Discovery Channel, the National Geographic Channel, the History Channel, Bio Channel and Channel News Asia.
He dedicates his journey on Tuesdays with Morrie to all who have supported his theatrical indulgences these past 45 years, especially his encouraging family.
