Potomac Stages lists Tuesday's with Morrie as one of its Pick's of the Week. You don't have to take Stage Mom's word for it, here is what Potomac Stages says about Matt (and the the rest of the cast.)
James Laster charms the audience just as Morrie Schwartz charmed Mitch Albom. He creates a mentor, a teacher, a friend and a father figure that every man and woman in the audience would want to have had. When the script has Morrie being witty, Laster has a gleam in his eye that doubles the pleasure of the line. When the script has him in pain, Laster hints at it rather than go for the cheap moan. And, when the script has him openly expressing emotions, he does so with an honesty that is appealing.
Paired with veteran (and Actors equity Member) Laster is younger but no less talented Matthew Eisenberg, who guides the audience into the story as the narrating student/mentee. After the opening narration which offers a glimpse of the relationship between professor Morrie Schwartz and student Mitch Albom, Eisenberg reverts to a reserve that matches the progress of the story nicely. He gradually allows his character to fall under the spell of his mentor, taking with him the heart of the audience who similarly come under that spell. When the final throes of the ravages of ALS bring Schwartz' life to an end, the tears of the audience are matched by Eisenberg's. It is an indication of that sense of restraint and good taste that his sobs don't exceed those of the audience - everyone is under the same spell at that moment. That, of course, is the mark of a satisfying, uplifting tear-jerker.
