The Special PolyU Show on "Tuesdays with Morrie"
The Special PolyU Show took place on 4 December 2012. Special offer tickets were offered to PolyU staff and students from 3-12 October 2012. There were long queues for tickets, and all tickets had been sold by the end of the second day. The Play was impressive, inspiring us to sit back and think about the meaning of life despite our busy schedule.
