Driving Miss Daisy
Written by Alfred Uhry
Produced by Beth Marshall Presents
February 12-28, 2010
Fridays and Saturdays at 8pm, Sundays at 2pm
Industry Night: Monday, February 22 at 8pm

Alfred Uhry's famous play Driving Miss Daisy (winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize and Outer Critics Circle Award for Best Off-Broadway Play) has captured crowds for its astonishing dynamic character interactions between Miss Daisy Werthan, a cold, white Southern lady with a bulk of attitude and Hoke Colburn, a humble black man who becomes Daisy's chauffeur.  The story, set in 1948, highlights racism and prejudices in America.  This engaging comedy details the bond and unlikely friendship of these two opposites over the course of 25 years.
 
Tickets:
Fridays and Saturdays: $22 ($18 seniors/students)
Sundays and Monday: $18 )$10 kids under 12)
 
Recommended for children 12 and up.
