VW independent\/submitted information<\/em><\/p>\n

Artists Group East head Robert Malcolm announced Friday, September 15, that he has withdrawn his client, \u201cM*A*S*H*\u201d star Jamie Farr, from the upcoming national touring production of Tuesdays with Morrie<\/em>, which was set to open September 25 on a four-month multi-city tour.\u00a0The show was scheduled to be in Van Wert at the Niswonger Performing Arts Center on October 8.<\/p>\n

\u201cI regret that I will not be performing in this wonderful show due to the producer\u2019s inability to secure work visas in a timely manner for my Canadian director, Ron Ulrich, and co-star David Keeley, who were an integral part of our previous successful tour throughout Canada,\u201d Farr explained.\u00a0\u201cThis is a two-person play and I wanted Tuesdays with Morrie<\/em> to be as entertaining and successful throughout the United States as it was in Canada.\u201d<\/p>\n

Many venues have been scurrying to find a replacement for Tuesdays with Morrie<\/em>; however, Farr has agreed to bring \u201cAn Evening with Jamie Farr\u201d to both the Toledo performance at the Stranahan Theater on October 7 and \u201cAn Afternoon with Jamie Farr\u201d to the Niswonger Performing Arts Center in Van Wert on October 8.<\/p>\n

The show will be co-hosted by WTVG-TV Chanel 13 of Toledo\u2019s co-anchor of its evening news, Lee Conklin.\u00a0Conklin is a friend of Farr and is the reason he has agreed to perform in Van Wert and Toledo.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe are extremely appreciative of Mr. Farr and Mr. Conklin agreeing to replicate their Toledo performance for our patrons,\u201d said Niswonger Performing Arts Center Executive Director Paul Hoverman.\u00a0\u201cI am sure, although some may be disappointed they will not get to see Tuesdays with Morrie<\/em>, they will be excited and thoroughly entertained with \u2018An Afternoon with Jamie Farr\u2019.\u201d<\/p>\n

In this new show, the audience will get to see video outtakes of M*A*S*H* highlights and bloopers, as well as hear Jamie Farr\u2019s entertaining insights behind his years on M*A*S*H*, as well as many other acting roles throughout his illustrious career.<\/p>\n

Conklin will host with questions for Farr before opening up a question-and-answer session for audience members.<\/p>\n

\u201cIt should be a fun afternoon for all those wanting to see and experience the wit and life of Jamie Farr,\u201d Hoverman added.<\/p>\n

The Van Wert show will be the same time as the original Tuesdays with Morrie<\/em>, starting at 3 p.m.\u00a0Tickets for Tuesdays with Morrie<\/em> will be honored for \u201cAn Afternoon with Jamie Farr.\u201d\u00a0Those who would like to purchase a ticket for this new show, or have any questions or concerns, should contact the Niswonger box office between the hours of noon and 4 p.m.<\/p>\n

Tickets begin at $25.\u00a0The Sunday, October 8, show begins at 3 p.m., with lobby doors opening at 2 that afternoon.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
