Driving Miss Daisy won a Pulitzer in 1988 and the movie won the Best Picture Oscar in 1990. Nearly 40 years on, this story resonates just as powerfully. But why?
After one too many accidents, Daisy Werthan, a wealthy and stubborn southern widow, grudgingly acquiesces to her son, Boolie, who hires Hoke Colburn to drive her around Atlanta. Daisy loathes the idea and the intrusion, but over the next 25 years, they form an unusual and endearing bond that transcends race, religion, class, and temperament. Three accomplished actors bring Daisy, Hoke, and Boolie to life on the ACT stage for six performances only:
• October 23
• October 24
• October 30
• October 31
