SUMMARY:Driving Miss Daisy - Prescott
DESCRIPTION:Emerson Theater Collaborative is proud to bring Driving Miss Daisy to the stage on February 21-23\, 2025 at  Prescott’s The Hazeltine Theatre. 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. Music by Robert Waldmen. \nPlaywright: Alfred Uhry\nDirector: Camilla Ross\nCo-Producer: Jay Ruby \nCast:\nJoan Westmoreland – Miss Daisy\nJames Yaw – Boolie\nJoel (Tony) Digg – Hoke \nCrew:\nStage Management: Sean Spencer\nCostume Designer: Terra Shelman\nSound Designer: Ky Rial\nLighting Designer: Kevin Hough\nBackstage: Audrey Young\nProps: Craig Schneider\nPhotography: Larry Kane \nAlfred Uhry is the only playwright ever to win the Triple Crown: an Oscar\, a Tony\, and a Pulitzer Prize.

SUMMARY:Permanent Collection
DESCRIPTION:Written by Thomas Gibbons\nProduced by Camilla Ross\nDirected by Ashley Adelman\nProduced by Special Arrangements of Playscripts\nStarring – Elijah Manning\, Cat Ransom\, James Yaw\, La Rivers\, Racquel McKenzie and Larry Cohen\n\n\nSponsors – City of Sedona & Caldwell Banker\n\n\nSynopsis\n\nPermanent Collection is a searing examination of racial politics that ultimately asks how much space — literally and figuratively — the white world gives to African-Americans. What is the cost of failing to view the world through another’s eyes?\n\n\n\nSoon after African-American businessman Sterling North becomes the new director of the Morris Foundation\, he discovers that this world-famous art collection includes several significant African sculptures tucked away in storage. His proposal to add them to the public galleries is opposed by the foundation’s long-time education director\, who is loyal to the idiosyncratic wishes of the late Dr. Morris. Spurred on by a zealous local journalist\, this clash quickly escalates to public accusations of racism and a bitter struggle for control of the collection.\n\n\n\nWhen\n\nFriday\, February 4th @ 7pm\nSaturday\, February 5th @ 7pm\nSunday\, February 6th @ 2pm\n\n\n\n\nTicketing \nIn-Person theater costs.
