Ernie – A Play by Mitch Albom

“Ernie,” Mitch Albom’s much-anticipated new play dedicated to Ernie Harwell, makes its world premiere this spring at the City Theatre in Detroit, one block from Comerica Park and just in time for fans to visit with the “Voice of Summer” once again.

“Ernie” is set on Ernie Harwell’s last night at Comerica, when the Hall of Fame broadcaster is about to give a moving thank you to a grateful city. Just before he walks onto the grassy field, he encounters an unusual boy who is eager to know all about him, coaxing Harwell into giving one final broadcast - the “broadcast of his life.”

The play will feature actual footage from historic baseball moments, supplied courtesy of Major League Baseball, and will boast many unmistakable Harwell calls. Tiger fans will get a glimpse of the time that Ernie met the Great Bambino and Ty Cobb. They’ll witness how he ’recreated” games in his early days, and what was behind his broadcasts of the Tigers’ 1968 and 1984 World Series.
