Driving Miss Daisy

Driving Miss Daisy, Alfred Uhry's classic play, is a funny but hopeful meditation on growing old, relationships, and loyalty, winning the Pulitzer Prize in 1988. Set against the backdrop of the Civil Rights era, the play tells the story of Miss Daisy and her newly hired chauffeur Hoke. Their relationship, spanning twenty-five years, is a reflection of critical changes in American society, as they deal with anti-semitism, racism, and class differences while their bond grows ever stronger. Performed by the Iberia Performing Arts League, the witty and charming tale plays for two weekends. October 20—23 and 27—30. Check the website for times and tickets.
