Driving Miss Daisy by Alfred Uhry is a story rooted in the Deep South, which follows the decades-long relationship between a strong-willed, well-to-do Jewish woman and her Black chauffeur in the Jim Crow era. Set against a backdrop of changing world events between the late 1940s and early 1970s, 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. With humor and heartfelt emotion, Alfred Uhry’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play poignantly explores the transformative power of true friendship.

This was a great performance. Nashville gives Broadway a run for its money. We are so grateful to have this caliber of theatre close by. Thank you for this close-up view of the actors and director. The play made you want to connect with them beyond their characters.
