Wayside Theatre revisits the past with its latest production of Driving Miss Daisy under the direction of Warner Crocker (Artistic Director). The classic play, written by Alfred Uhry, follows the social relationships caused by racism in Atlanta, Georgia during the 1980s.

Those shrills, winds and sirens are about to make their stage debut in this year’s holiday performance A Wonderful Life: A Live Radio Play on the Wayside Theatre stage. Everything from the traditional piano to those blustering winter winds will have equal time on the stage time with the actors of the “radio” studio.
