NORTHVILLE, MI-Tipping Point Theatre (TPT) opens its 16^th theatrical season on October 4, 2023, with the 1988 beloved classic Driving Miss Daisy by Alfred Uhry and directed by Southfield native Brian Sullivan Taylor.

The show runs from October 4th through October 29.

A story beloved by many due to its wide popularity on the silver screen and award-winning performances by Jessica Tandy and Morgan Freeman, TPT brings Uhry’s 1988 Pulitzer Prize-winning classic to its intimate Northville stage. “Driving Miss Daisy is a period piece that will stand the test of time” states the show’s Director, Brian Sullivan Taylor.

“It’s a story about two people who both need direction and support from each other to get to where they need to be in life. Their differences are what make them the same in the grand scheme of things. I think that it’s unique that these characters are having such life changing perspective shifts in their later years, during a time in which race, politics, gender roles and religion weren’t discussed as freely. I see this play as more than a story about a jolly driver and his wiry, high-strung passenger. This story is about a commonality of pain that we all share and that we can all learn and grow from.”
