Location

Hutchins Education Center at the Wilson Museum

The Castine Arts Association is pleased to present Cold Comfort Theater, and a one-time staged reading of "Driving Miss Daisy" on Sunday, August 28th, at 3pm in the Hutchins Education Center of the Wilson Museum, Perkins St. Castine. In the play, Daisy Werthan (Aynne Ames) an elderly Jewish widow living in Atlanta, is determined to maintain her independence.  However, when she crashes her car, her son, Boolie (Adam Ratterree), arranges for her to have a chauffeur, an African-American driver named Hoke Colburn (William Murphy).  Daisy and Hoke's relationship gets off to a rocky start, but they gradually form a close friendship over the years, one that transcends racial prejudices and social conventions. The performance, co-sponsored by the Wilson Museum, will be approximately on hour long, is free to the public, with donations welcome.
