Sunrise Spotlight: Driving Miss Daisy with the Barn Lot Theatre

For today’s Sunrise Spotlight, News 40’s Ashlee Wilson sits down with Kyle Hadley from the Barn Lot Theatre group. Together, they discussed an upcoming production of Driving Miss Daisy.

Here is a synopsis of the production as told by the theatre company.

“The year is 1948, the place is Atlanta, and Miss Daisy Werthen has just demolished her car. Her son Boolie responds by hiring her a driver, Hoke Colburn. What begins as a pairing of necessity develops into an often complex but ultimately life-altering friendship, demonstrating that the commonalities that unite us are stronger than the differences that divide us. Driving Miss Daisy is a beloved story of the transformative power of friendship and addresses what it meant to be Jewish, Black, and elderly in the changing American South of the mid-twentieth century.”

Showings start on February 20th of 2025 and run until March 2nd. For a full list of those dates and to purchase tickets, you can click right here.
