Auditions: “Driving Miss Daisy” by Alfred Uhry, directed by Randy Morris
Having recently demolished another car, a rich, sharp-tongued Jewish widow is informed by her son that she must rely on the services of a chauffeur. The person he hires for the job is a thoughtful, unemployed black man, whom Miss Daisy immediately regards with disdain and who, in turn, is not impressed with his employer’s patronizing tone and latent prejudice. Despite their mutual differences, the two grow ever closer.
