Photo Coverage Exclusive: Harold Ford Jr. visits James Earl Jones

Driving Miss Daisy's talkback series continued last night, when former United States congressman and frequent "Morning Joe" contributor Harold Ford Jr. and NYU professor Jennifer Morgan took the stage at the Golden Theatre (252 West 45 Street) for a post-performance discussion immediately following the evening performance. Driving Miss Daisy producer Jed Bernstein moderated the conversation.

This special series, which helps celebrate Black History Month with Wednesday night talkbacks, has already welcomed former NYC Mayor David Dinkins, current Deputy Mayor Dennis Walcott, New Orleans Mayor Marc Morial, CBS News Correspondent Michelle Miller and many more. Best-selling author Kathryn Stockett (The Help) and Columbia University Professor Jonathan Schorsch will be guests at the fourth and final talk-back in this series, which concludes next Wednesday, February 23rd.

The current revival of Driving Miss Daisy is now playing at the Golden Theatre, where it opened to rave reviews on October 25, 2010 and has been extended through Saturday, April 9, 2011.

Uhry's classic play is a timeless, searing, funny, and ultimately hopeful meditation on race relations in America, told through the complex relationship between two of popular culture's most enduring characters. When Daisy Werthan (Redgrave), a widowed, 72-year-old Jewish woman living in midcentury Atlanta, is deemed too old to drive, her son, Boolie (Gaines), hires Hoke Coleburn (Jones), an African American man, to serve as her chauffeur. What begins as a troubled and hostile pairing, soon blossoms into a profound, life-altering friendship that transcends all the societal boundaries placed between them. From its landmark Off-Broadway production in 1987 to the remarkable success of the Oscar-winning film version (4 Academy Awards, including Best Picture), Driving Miss Daisy has become one of the most beloved American stories of the late twentieth century.

The creative team of Driving Miss Daisy includes John Lee Beatty (Scenic Design), Jane Greenwood (Costume Design), Peter Kaczorowski (Lighting Design), Wendall K. Harrington (Projection Design), Christopher Cronin (Sound Design) and Mark Bennett (Music).
