Florida Repertory Theatre’s season continues with Alfred Uhry’s modern classic Driving Miss Daisy. The Pulitzer Prize-winning play is a timeless story about the power of friendship and the endurance of human connection. Driving Miss Daisy runs in the ArtStage Studio Theatre Jan. 21 – Feb. 13, with discounted previews Jan. 18 – 20.

“This classic story chronicles a decades-long friendship, and is a love-letter to how affirming a strong friendship can be in our lives,” said artistic director Greg Longenhagen. “It is the perfect piece to kick off the new year in the ArtStage Studio Theatre. The production brings a dream-team of our ensemble members and recent guest artists, and you won’t want to miss it. This season was meant to celebrate stories that lift us up and bring us together, and there isn’t a play that does those things better.”

Driving Miss Daisy tells a hopeful, funny,and heartfelt story that explores the transformative power of friendship. What begins as a clash of wills between a stubborn Jewish matriarch and a proud black man evolves into a generation-long friendship as the two navigate Civil Rights-era Atlanta. The play premiered at Playwrights Horizons in 1987 starring Dana Ivey and Morgan Freeman, and went on to win the Pulitzer for Drama. The now-classic film adaptation starring Jessica Tandy alongside Freeman took home the Best Picture Oscar in

Florida Rep’s production stars ensemble member Sara Morsey as Daisy, guest artist Mujahid Abdul-Rashid as Hoke, and ensemble member Jason Parrish as Daisy’s son, Boolie. Morsey returns to the stage after playing a string of iconic women in Florida Rep’s The Glass Menagerie, August: Osage County, The Little Foxes, Dividing the Estate and Steel Magnolias – as well as originating the role of Bib the Goat in the National New Play Network Rolling world premiere of Alabaster in 2020.

Abdul-Rashid returns to Florida Rep after his acclaimed performance as Troy Maxson in Florida Rep’s production of August Wilson’s Fences. No stranger to August Wilson’s work, Abdul-Rashid’s career includes multiple appearances in six of Wilson’s American Century Cycle plays all over the country. Associate artistic director and frequent director Jason Parrish returns to the stage in Driving Miss Daisy for the first time since appearing in Cabaret and How the Other Half Loves in 2018, and is also well-known for his work in six seasons of the snarky holiday comedy The Santaland Diaries.

BWW Review: DRIVING MISS DAISY at Florida Repertory Theatre Playing now through February 13!

by Elizabeth James

Jan. 31, 2022

Florida Repertory Theatre's production of DRIVING MISS DAISY is playing now in their ArtStage Studio Theatre. The show tells the heartwarming story of an unlikely friendship forged during Civil Rights-era Atlanta.

Daisy Werthan is played by Sara Morsey, and she is phenomenal. She truly captures the essence of Daisy; she is stubborn, independent, and determined. When her son, Boolie Werthan (Jason Parrish) hires a driver for her, Hoke Coleburn (Mujahid AbdulRashid), she is initially very against the idea. It takes time for her to accept her need for a driver, but once she does, they start to develop a special bond. The show progresses through years and decades, and the audience gets to see how their relationship changes as the time passes. Many things diminish over the years, but their friendship only strengthens. I loved watching Daisy and Hoke's friendship grow, and these actors were absolutely brilliant at bringing their characters and this relationship to life. They embodied these roles, making it so special and sweet to watch. It was also very sweet to see how Boolie cared for Daisy despite her protests. He knew what was best for her, and took care of both her and Hoke throughout the story. Parrish did an excellent job portraying the bond that Boolie forms with Hoke as well as his relationship with his mother.

Rating  This fantastic sold-out event warmed the heart and charmed the soul. The characters were delightfully conceived and presented by Mujahid Abdul-Rashid (Hoke Coleburn), Sara Morsey (Daisy Werthan), and Jason Parrish (Boolie Werthan). If you’ve seen the 1989 film, it’s clear that the Florida Rep presentation better captures the emotional and memorable qualities of author Alfred Uhry’s work.

From beginning to end, the interactions between the persnickety Miss Daisy and the almost always forbearing chauffeur Hoke tug at one’s heart. Daisy’s son Boolie is caring, lovable, and protective of his mom. She delights in bantering with him about day-to-day matters associated with her advancing years (like fender benders), her humility, loyalty to friends, and frequent references to her dignity and childhood days of poverty. He is patient, humorous and amiable, and one notices and reacts tenderly to the clever mother-son badinage.

When Daisy and Hoke meet, we want them to become pals. While tentative at first, we watch their friendship inexorably mature as their mutual needs and kindness bring them together.

The Florida Rep is commended for presenting an authentic performance set in the author’s intended period. While one may argue that some stereotypes are dated, associated tensions gently bring to the forefront a changing American society in the Atlanta of yesteryear. The fears and plights of both Jews and African Americans are juxtaposed as we sense the emergence of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. as a force for positive change. Daisy, a well-to-do Jewish widow and former schoolteacher, teaches Hoke to read as he becomes an integral part of her life. Although this is not a piece overtly addressing cultural inequities, its subtle messages are clearly and calmly educed.

Rather, this work focuses on how two disparate characters can bond within unusual circumstances, mutual need, and reciprocal admiration.

With simple stage settings, sound effects, recorded music (banjo, cello, and violin), we are drawn into the storyline, sensing the pathos of the delightful characters with their heartache, drama, and spirit. We effortlessly visualize the opening and closing of car doors, humming of the engine, and sounds of the road. Congratulations to Maureen Heffernan (Director), Richard Crowell (Scenic Designer), Adam Trummel (Sound Designer), Todd O. Wren (Lighting Designer), and the rest of the crew for their craft and attention to detail. Well done!

As this story from time fades, we longingly view Daisy’s home appurtenances replete with her phone, knitting needles, and comfortable chair. While it is genuinely heartbreaking when at last she cannot live independently in her home, we are rewarded with a poignant closing scene and reminders of the passing of time, acts of kindness, life’s loves, friends, families, travails, and destinations. The ever kind Boolie promises Hoke that he shall continue to receive the salary paid for caring for Daisy for as long as he lives.

Fellow audience members near me were equally impressed with the troupe’s oeuvre. It was story-telling at its best in this intimate performance space.

Driving Miss Daisy is closing soon, and you’ll need to move quickly to get tickets for its final performances and the upcoming performance of Into the Breeches.

The Florida Rep Theatre is conveniently located with great free parking for patrons and marvelous pre-theatre restaurants.

Trying to navigate “Driving Miss Daisy” ARTS COMMENTARY February 02, 2022

Nancy STETSON nstetson@floridaweekly.com

Sara Morsey as Miss Daisy and Mujahid Abdul-Rashid as her chauffer, Hoke, star in “Driving Miss Daisy.” JOE DAFELDECKER / FLORIDA REPERTORY THEATRE

What to say about “Driving Miss Daisy”?

There’s the play, and there’s the production.

It’s a good production, but is this really the play to be putting on at this time?

First, the production.

“Driving Miss Daisy,” at Florida Repertory Theatre, is probably one of the better stagings of this Pulitzer Award-winning play that you could hope to see.

This three-hander directed by Maureen Heffernan stars Sara Morsey as the difficult Miss Daisy; Mujahid Abdul- Rashid as her chauffer, Hoke; and Jason Parrish as Miss Daisy’s middle-aged son, Boolie.

This is a trifecta of excellent actors, led by a skilled director.

Ms. Morsey is a superb Miss Daisy: tall, willowy, frail, she’s also strong-minded and prickly. A retired schoolteacher who’s well-off, she doesn’t want to be seen as rich; she’s fearful of others thinking she’s “putting on airs.”

She’s as myopic as Mr. Magoo. She doesn’t think she’s racist, yet refers to Black people as “them” and wants to fire her chauffer when she thinks he’s stolen a can of food from her pantry.

It’s a credit to Ms. Morsey’s incredible acting talent that she makes us like such a difficult woman.

Mr. Abdul-Rashid is the voice of calm in chaos. He’s easy-going and agreeable. He not only navigates the car but navigates Miss Daisy’s temper tantrums and spells of disagreeableness.

And Mr. Parrish does an admirable job as a son who’s too busy with his business, so he pays someone else to watch over his mother.

There are moments of humor and true tenderness in this play, performed on a minimal set designed by Richard Crowell. (Note that if you sit in some of the side seats, you’ll not be able to see all the facial expressions as actors will be turned away from you sometimes.)

They all age realistically as the play — and time — progress. And this play, in part, is about the passage of time and how progress comes, often agonizingly slowly, both personally and in our society.

Miss Daisy is slowly losing her autonomy as she grows older, and is not happy about it. (And I can’t say I blame her.)

But, despite my great respect for all those involved in the play, I’m a little dumbfounded a venue would choose to stage “Driving Miss Daisy” at a time when the theater world is acutely aware of the need for diversity on the stage and behind the scenes, in choice of playwrights and in positions of power and influence. This has been a major topic of discussion among those involved in theater for the past few years at least.

And for people of color, it’s a very old discussion.

The Laboratory Theater of Florida staged “The Color Purple” earlier this season. Theatre Conspiracy just closed “The Colored Museum.” And the Asolo Repertory Theatre has a superb production of “Our Town” with colorblind casting, including a Black stage manager and a Grover’s Corners populated with Black, Asian and Latin actors, as well as white people. (It’s fresh, innovative and moving, highly recommended.)

“Driving Miss Daisy” is about a white, Jewish, southern woman living in Atlanta who becomes aware of prejudice only when it affects her, when her synagogue gets bombed. Some may say it’s a “white savior” show.

Yes, as the civil rights movement comes to the fore, Miss Daisy starts listening to Dr. Martin Luther King’s speeches. But I cringed whenever Hoke would say “yess’m, yess’m,” literally holding his cap in hand and looking at the ground. (I also hadn’t realized in previous productions how the men team up to make decisions about Miss Daisy’s life without her consent.)

If Florida Rep is looking to reach out to a more diverse audience, this is not the play. ¦

In the KNOW “Driving Miss Daisy” » When: through Feb. 13 » Where: ArtStage Studio Theatre at Florida Repertory Theatre, Bay Street between Jackson and Hendry, downtown Fort Myers » Cost: Tickets start at $59 » Information: 239-332-4488 or www.FloridaRep.org

Plan ahead and use patience to navigate the rope maze. SPECIAL TO THE NEWS-PRESS

Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles exhibit open Special to Fort Myers News-Press USA TODAY NETWORK – FLORIDA

After more than three decades of battling evil and exemplifying teamwork, the beloved Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles (TMNT) are featured in a museum exhibit for children and families to enjoy at the Children Museum of Naples. The four funny “heroes in a half shell” share life lessons and team-building skills with their crime-fi ghting tactics in Nickelodeon's Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles™: Secrets of the Sewer™ open now in Naples.

At the Children's Museum of Naples, families will be transported to the underground home of the crime-fi ghting heroes to see what really happens in their secret hideaway. Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles brothers Leonardo (the tactical, courageous leader in blue), Michelangelo (the free-spirited jokester in orange), Raphael (the aggressive tough guy in red), and Donatello (the scientist and technological genius in purple) invite families to their New York City sewer lair to train together and learn about the Turtles’ comedic, skillful strategies.

“The whole is often greater than the sum of its parts and we are hoping children and adults will be able to discover this in their own families as they work together. Along the way, our visitors will discover how each member of the team has something unique to contribute and they can accomplish a lot more together

than they can alone,” said Jennifer Pace Robinson, president and CEO, The Children’s Museum of Indianapolis.

The Turtles are known and respected for their teamwork. As the TMNT’s sensei and adoptive father Splinter often tells them, “Together there is nothing you cannot accomplish.” Through teambuilding challenges, collaborative game and mind-teasing puzzles, families and friends will learn skills to help them successfully work together. Here are a few examples: h Build a “bridge” together and think creatively as a team to overcome challenges. h Assemble two electrical circuit puzzles by taking one apart to build another. h Plan ahead and use patience to navigate the rope maze. h Practice ninja speed and slicing skills while playing a dexterity-based computer game. h Shred up and practice your balance on skateboards. h Create a sewer pipe together and see where it goes.

The Turtles took the comic book world by storm in 1984 – and since then Donnie, Raph, Leo and Mikey have brought Turtle Power to cartoons, movies, video games and toys!

The Golisano Children’s Museum of Naples is located at 15080 Livingston Road in Naples. Go to cmon.org or call (239) 514-0084 for more.
