“So wise and humane… carries a big emotional punch” -Washington Post
Director Dale McFadden draws our 61st season to a close in September and October with the Pulitzer Prize-winning play that became the Oscar-winning movie, Driving Miss Daisy by Alfred Uhry. Spend some time on the road and at home with Daisy, an enduring American classic character. Over her strong protests Daisy’s son hires a driver for her after she crashes her car. It begins badly, but over twenty-five years of driving through tumultuous American history this feisty Southern widow and her dignified, resilient African American chauffeur named Hoke develop a deep respect for and friendship with each other. They help each other through difficult times and also share joys and triumphs. Warm, wise, humane, and humorous, this insightful American masterpiece will make you smile and touch your heart as we bask in the autumnal glow at the end of another fantastic season.
