Junior Alfredo Martinez serves as assistant director, sophomore Johnny Gonzales is stage manager, and sophomore Jennye James is assistant technical director. While the production does not contain excessive language or nudity, Bristol notes it is perhaps best suited for older audiences and “rates” it PG-13 due to the adult situations.

| Joe Brown Directs Driving Miss Daisy
Set in mid-20th-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 is a delicate depiction of racial tensions and of growing old. Playwright Alfred Uhry has created two outsiders who come to a mutual respect based on their independence, strength, and stubborn integrity. For more information about tickets and showtimes, visit Artisan Center Theater's web site. Reservations are recommended. |
