Be sure to come out to see this great play starting Thursday. It is a very human, touching show, with great moments of comedy and drama. It's the growth of a beautiful friendship you just won't want to miss.
It's second big weekend is coming up fast, so you should reserve your tickets at 283-2161 right away! Alison and I saw the show on opening night, and we hope to go again this weekend. Benjamin missed it and we want him to be able to see it.
The acting was superb, making this special story a real jewel, as you could see the friendship of these two marvelous people grow. The set was excellent, particularly the car that was used. Community theater is such a wonderful combination of talents, not just the actors onstage, but all the different contributions that are made by so many to make such a wonderful production.
Anita Lynn is Miss Daisy. She is a good friend of mine, and I am looking forward very much to seeing her in this part. She has told me about her participating in theater before I came to this area, so I've been waiting a long time to see what I have been missing!
Ms. Anita is perfection as Miss Daisy. She conveys her character, and times her lines to maximum effect, as well as any one I've seen onstage. She will have you smiling, laughing and crying - and caring deeply about the characters and the story.
Eric Redmond plays Hoke, Miss Daisy's chauffeur, and it was my great pleasure to see him perform this part years ago, where he was extraordinary. Alison has known him since high school, and I have been in many productions with him. They could not have picked a better person to play this part.
This is a our second go round seeing Eric in this part, and he simply OWNS it! I cannot imagine anyone better playing this role. He is more believable in it to me than even Morgan Freeman.
Matt Knox is a high schooler playing the part of Boolie, Miss Daisy's son. He is following in my footsteps, in playing a part that is older than he is. The word I hear is that he is doing most excellent, and putting a real zip into the part of Boolie.
And the word is true! Matt Knox is great in this part, playing the reluctant foil to both Miss Daisy and Hoke. He ages visibly and accurately throughout the play, both through makeup and mannerisms. Expect great things from this talented young thespian in the future!
Be sure to make your reservations to see this great show! Show dates are May 8, 9, 10 at 8:00 p.m. Tickets are $10 and reservations can be made by calling the box office at 283-2161! Don't miss it!
