Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer prize-winning play tells the story of the developing friendship between Daisy Wertham and Hoke Coleburn, beginning in Atlanta, Georgia in 1948.

Gurney’s play is an epistolary romance, starting in the character’s childhoods and ending in their middle age.

Six different casts will perform the play as a staged reading for one week apiece.

SEEKING:

Andrew Makepeace Ladd III (30-50) endeavors to be a good man, according to his lights. Eventually, he becomes a Senator.
