Alta Moseley and Bruce Martin star in a scene from ‘Driving Miss Daisy.’ The play will run from Feb. 20 to March 1 at Habersham Community Theater. The play won a Pulitzer Prize. It was also made into a movie, which won four Academy Awards.
A Pulitzer Prize-winning play covering the 25-year relationship between a wealthy white Jewish widow and her African-American driver will take to the stage in Clarkesville for two weekends. “Driving Miss Daisy,” penned by Alfred Uhry, follows the story of “Miss” Daisy Werthan (played by Alta Moseley); her son, Boolie (played by Justin Dudkiewicz); and her driver, Hoke Coleburn (played by Bruce Martin). Werthan, a 72-year-old retired schoolteacher, lives in Atlanta with the aid of an African-American housemaid named Idella.
