Driving Miss Daisy

Presented by Council Grove Community Theatre

A heartwarming story of friendship, understanding, and the unexpected connections that change our lives.

The Council Grove Community Theatre proudly presents Driving Miss Daisy, the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Alfred Uhry, coming to the stage at the Trail Days Arts & History Center in February 2027!

Set in the American South, Driving Miss Daisy tells the story of Daisy Werthan, a fiercely independent elderly Jewish woman, and Hoke Colburn, the African American chauffeur hired by her son after Daisy can no longer safely drive herself.

What begins as a reluctant arrangement gradually develops into an extraordinary friendship spanning 25 years. Through humor, stubbornness, changing social attitudes, and life's inevitable challenges, Daisy and Hoke discover a bond that transcends their differences.
