Joplin Little Theatre to present Driving Miss Daisy


(From Joplin Little Theatre)

Joplin Little Theatre has announced its next production, Driving Miss Daisy by Alfred Uhry, to be presented Wednesday, Feb. 2 through Saturday, Feb. 5 and Sunday, Feb. 6. 

This production is directed by Greg Green, with the cast consisting of Lisa Olliges as Daisy Werthan; Kennan Cortez, Sr., as Hoke Colburn and Shaun Conroy as Boolie Werthan. 









Winner of the 1988 Pulitzer Prize, Driving Miss Daisy chronicles 25 years in the life of Daisy Werthan, a rich Jewish widow and her proud, soft-spoken Black butler, Hoke Coburn, in post-war Atlanta. 

Driving Miss Daisy is a warmhearted, humorous and affecting study of an unlikely relationship between two seemingly opposite personalities. 

The play will begin at 7:30 p.m. on Wednesday through Saturday, Feb. 2-5 and at 2:30 p.m. on Sunday, Feb. 6. The play will run approximately 90 minutes without an intermission. 

Following the Thursday evening performance there will be a Talk-Back with the audience immediately following the production. Audience members are invited to meet the cast and ask questions about production. The Talk-Back is free to all Thursday night ticket holders. 

There will also be a tea before the Sunday matinee, starting at 1:30 p.m., in the President’s Room that is free to all Sunday matinee ticket holders. 

Ticket prices are $18 for adult, $15 for senior citizen/ student and $8 for children 12 and under. Individual tickets are on sale by calling the JLT Box Offie at 417- 623-3638 or online at www. joplinlittletheatre.org.
