Blogging Miss Daisy

"Driving Miss Daisy" opens this week at the Open Space Cafe Theatre (4609 W. Market Street).

For visual previews, visit the OSC Theatre's blog or this Fox 8 morning broadcast (which includes a short scene from the play).

If you haven't visited the Open Space Cafe Theatre before, I highly recommend that you check out one of our community's most recently added theatrical treasures. Before the shows and during intermissions, you can even purchase desserts and drinks to take back to your table and enjoy while you watch the performance.

These are the dates for "Driving Miss Daisy": June 11 (TONIGHT!), 12, 13, 18, 19, & 20 at 8:00pm, with a June 14 matinee at 2:00pm.

Tickets are $10.00 each if you're under 17, $17.00 for seniors and college students, and $20.00 for everyone else. There's a student-rush price of $10.00 ten minutes before showtime (if seats are still available).

I always try to organize groups of 8 or more friends and family members so that we can each receive a $2.00 discount off our individual ticket prices. We often eat dinner down the road at Elizabeth's Pizza before visiting the Open Space Cafe Theatre, and right across from the theatre is another great dining option: Bert's Seafood Restaurant. 12 of us are already on-board to see "Driving Miss Daisy" this Saturday.

To order your tickets, just call the box office at 336-292-2285. If the voice mail answers, just leave your name, phone number, the date you want to attend, and how many tickets you desire. Artistic Director Joe Nierle or another staff member will call back to confirm your ticket order.

ONE VERY IMPORTANT WARNING: if you do plan to attend, be prepared for a wonderful experience and many positive memories. Your only regret will likely be that you missed all the shows that came before.
