      February 6-22, 2026
         This beloved, heartfelt, Pulitzer
      Prize-winning play is the story
      of  an unlikely, life-changing
      friendship between Daisy Werthan,                         Burns Wealth Management Group
      a 72-year-old Jewish widow, and
      Hoke Coleburn, a Black chauffeur
      hired by her son Boolie. Set in
      Georgia, the play unfolds over
      a 25-year period, beginning in  Alfred Uhry
      1948. Daisy is initially hostile to
      Hoke, but despite seemingly insurmountable differences their                               Robert Burns
