SUMMARY:Driving Miss Daisy | A Staged Reading - Mystic
DESCRIPTION:Emerson Theater Collaborative is proud to bring Driving Miss Daisy | A Staged Reading on October 10-12\, 2025 in Mystic\, CT. This play is a winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. \nThe place is the Deep South\, the time 1948\, just prior to the civil rights movement. Having recently demolished another car\, Daisy Werthan\, a rich\, sharp-tongued Jewish widow of seventy-two\, is informed by her son\, Boolie\, that henceforth she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful\, unemployed black man\, Hoke\, whom Miss Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who\, in turn\, is not impressed with his employer’s patronizing tone and\, he believes\, her latent prejudice. But\, in a series of absorbing scenes spanning twenty-five years\, the two\, despite their mutual differences\, grow ever closer to\, and more dependent on\, each other\, until\, eventually\, they become almost a couple. Slowly and steadily the dignified\, good-natured Hoke breaks down the stern defenses of the ornery old lady\, as she teaches him to read and write and\, in a gesture of good will and shared concern\, invites him to join her at a banquet in honor of Martin Luther King\, Jr. As the play ends Hoke has a final visit with Miss Daisy\, now ninety-seven and confined to a nursing home\, and while it is evident that a vestige of her fierce independence and sense of position still remain\, it is also movingly clear that they have both come to realize they have more in common than they ever believed possible—and that times and circumstances would ever allow them to publicly admit. \nDriving Miss Daisy reinforces the lesson that every stage of our life is precious and should never be taken for granted. \nProduced by Special Arrangement of Dramatist Play Service. \nOriginal Music Composed by Robert Waldmen. \nPlaywright: Alfred Uhry\nProducer: Camilla Ross\nDirector: Theresa Broach \nCast:\nDarla Allen – Miss Daisy\nMichael Vernon Davis – Boolie\nAndre Keitt – Hoke \nAlfred Uhry is the only playwright ever to win the Triple Crown: an Oscar\, a Tony\, and a Pulitzer Prize. He began his career as a lyric writer under contract to the late Frank Loesser. In that capacity he made his Broadway debut in 1968 with HERE’S WHERE I BELONG. He then wrote the book and lyrics for THE ROBBER BRIDEGROOM and was nominated for a Tony Award. He followed that with five re-created musicals at the Goodspeed Opera House. In 1987 his first play\, DRIVING MISS DAISY\, opened at Playwrights Horizons Theatre in New York. It was subsequently moved to the John Houseman Theatre\, where it ran for over 1300 performances. The play earned many awards\, including the Outer Critics Circle Award and the 1988 Pulitzer Prize for Drama. For the film version\, he won an Academy Award and the film itself was voted Best Picture of the Year. Other films include “Mystic Pizza” and “Rich in Love.” Mr. Uhry’s second play\, LAST NIGHT OF BALLYHOO\, which was commissioned by the Cultural Olympiad for the 1996 Atlanta Olympics\, opened on Broadway in February 1997.

He worked on PARADE\, a musical play about the Leo Frank case\, with music and lyrics by Jason Robert Brown and directed by Harold Prince.
