Actor/author Alan Alda appearing at MJCC in Dunwoody

Alan Alda is best-known as M*A*S*H's iconoclastic Capt. Hawkeye Pierce in one of television's longest-running series. But he has always been a man of many facets, and he has added another job to his long resume as stage and screen actor, screenwriter and director - that of author.

The Marcus Jewish Community Center of Atlanta (MJCCA) will welcome Alda back to the center at Zaban Park (5342 Tilly Mill Road, Dunwoody) Thursday, Sept. 25 at 7:30 p.m. Aldawill discuss his latest memoir, "Things I Overheard While Talking To Myself," a follow-up to his bestseller, "Never Have Your Dog Stuffed."

This funny and insightful memoir picks up where his previous book left off - having emergency surgery after nearly dying on a mountaintop in Chile - and introduces new stories of life, love, and the meaning of it all.

With his characteristic modesty and charm, Alda offers a book that is candid, wise, and as questioning as it inclusive. "Things I Overheard" is another superb Alan Alda performance, as inspiring and entertaining as the man himself.

Alda will be signing books immediately following his appearance at the MJCCA. Seating is limited and reservations are recommended. Ticket prices are $35 for non-members, $25 for members, and $50 for premier seating.
