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

By:
DRIVING MISS DAISY opens at Artisan Center Theater on Thursday, January 12, 2017 and runs through Saturday, January 28, 2017.

The 150 seat Second Stage theater is located at 444 East Pipeline Road in Hurst. Performances are at 7:00pm on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays. Reserved seating tickets are $22.00. Tickets can be purchased online at ArtisanCT.com, or by calling the box office at 817-284-1200.

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
