DRIVING MISS DAISY Takes the Stage at Georgia Ensemble Theatre
Georgia Ensemble Theatre (GET), the professional North Fulton theatre company, is producing the Pulitzer-prize winning play Driving Miss Daisy as their fourth of five mainstage productions this season. Directed by GET Education Director Laurel Crowe, the production is graciously sponsored by the Kimberly-Clark Corporation and will run February 28th through March 17th , 2019 at the company's home in the Roswell Cultural Arts Center.
Driving Miss Daisy by American playwright Alfred Uhry was both a Broadway hit and Pulitzer-prize winner for drama.
Set against a beautiful historical backdrop of Atlanta's development through the mid-20th century, the story of aging Southern matron Daisy Werthan, her long-suffering son Boolie, and her chauffeur Hoke Colburn unfolds over 25 years of friendship, loss, racial tension, and ultimately love.
This much-beloved story of an unlikely friendship is the play most associated with our late Artistic Director and Co-founder Bob Farley, and this production, directed by his daughter Laurel Crowe, is a tribute to him.
The cast of Driving Miss Daisy features Jill Jane Clements as Daisy Werthan, Bill Murphey (My Fair Lady and Moonlight and Magnolias at GET) as Boolie Werthan, and Rob Cleveland (A Doll's House Part 2 at Actor's Express & Aurora and Homers at GET) as Hoke Colburn.
Ticket prices for Driving Miss Daisy will start at $29. Book early for best prices. (Senior/Student discounts available for select performances). Groups of 10 or more are welcome with great discounts available. Tickets are on sale now at www.get.org, or by calling the Box Office at 770-641-1260.
