JUNE 8-25: ERNIE
Reminisce with the “Voice of Summer” as Mitch Albom’s
play Ernie returns for a seventh season to the City Theatre in
Detroit. The two-man play, dedicated to the late, beloved Hall
of Fame Detroit Tigers’ announcer Ernie Harwell, was writ-
ten by Albom at Harwell’s request. “Ernie got too sick so we
couldn’t do it together,” Albom told the Jewish News in 2011.
“That last promise, along with our friendship, became the
motivation for the play.” Some “double-header” show times
allow for fans to see the play and catch a Tigers’ game in one
outing. $25. (800) 745-3000; olympiaentertainment.com.
