DRIVING MISS DAISY to Hit the Road Next Month at Artisan Center Theater

Set in mid-century Atlanta, Driving Miss Daisy tells the story of an elderly Jewish matron, Daisy Werthan, and her chauffeur, Hoke Coleburn. At first Daisy is none too happy about being forced to rely on a black man. But Hoke gradually wins her over, and during the 25-year span of the play, the two develop a deep-rooted affection.

DRIVING MISS DAISY will be interpreted for the deaf and hard of hearing on January 19, 2017 at 7:00pm.

FEATURED IN DRIVING MISS DAISY ARE:

Daisy Werthan - Dorothy Sanders

Hoke Coleburn - Sean Massey

Boolie Werthan - Gary Payne
