A Timeless Story of Friendship, Change, and the Road Ahead
This Pulitzer Prize and Academy Award winning drama, Driving Miss Daisy is a heartwarming and humorous journey through an unlikely friendship that transcends race, class, and time. Set in the Deep South of 1948 to the —on the cusp of the civil rights movement—this beloved play follows the fiercely independent Miss Daisy Werthan, a sharp-tongued Jewish widow, and Hoke Colburn, a patient and dignified Black chauffeur, as they navigate 25 years of change, challenge, and companionship.

Poignant, funny, and profoundly moving, Driving Miss Daisy is a story of human connection that will touch your heart and leave you reflecting long after the curtain falls.
