About the Creator

Alfred Uhry is distinguished as the first American playwright to have won a Pulitzer Prize, an Academy Award and two Tony Awards. A 1958 graduate of Brown University, he began his professional career as a lyric writer under contract to the late Frank Loesser. He made his Broadway debut in 1968 with Here's Where I Belong, which ran for one night. He had better luck with The Robber Bridgeroom in 1976, which won him his first Tony nomination and will be revived at the Roundabout Theatre in New York early next year. He followed that with five rec-created musicals at the Goodspeed Opera House in East Haddam, Connecticut. His first play was Driving Miss Daisy, which began life at the 74 seat upstairs theater at Playwrights Horizons in 1987 and went on to run for three years and won the Pulitzer Prize in 1988. The film version, starring Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy, won the Academy Award as best film of 1989 and gained Uhry his own Oscar for best screenplay. His next two Broadway outings won him Tony Awards— The Last Night of Ballyhoo, best play of 1997. And PARADE, best book of a musical in 1999. Two more plays, Without Walls and Edgardo Mine have been performed at major regional theaters in the last few years. His book for the musical Lovemusik, directed by Harold Prince, won him a Drama Desk nomination in 2007. Angel Reapers an award winning theater/dance work about the Shakers, which he created with Martha Clarke, was presented at the Signature Theatre in New York in 2016. He is presently at work on two musical theater pieces.

About the Performer

Jones voice is known by people of all ages and walks of life, from Star Wars fans who know him as the voice of Darth Vader to children who know him as Mufasa from Disney’s The Lion King. Born in Mississippi and raised in Michigan, James Earl Jones moved to New York City after graduating from the University of Michigan and serving in the military. Renowned Broadway producer, Joseph Papp gave Jones one of his first major breakthroughs, casting him as Michael Williams in Shakespeare’s Henry V, eventually counting the title roles of Othello, Macbeth, and King Lear among his many distinguished performances for the company. Based on his success in the theater, he began to be cast in small television playing a doctor in both The Guiding Light and As the World Turns, and he made his film debut in 1964 in Stanley Kubrick's Dr. Strangelove. In 1969, Jones won a Tony Award for his breakthrough role as boxer Jack Johnson in the Broadway hit, The Great White Hope (which also garnered him an Oscar nomination for the 1970 film adaptation). He won a second Tony Award in 1987 for August Wilson's Fences.
In addition to the many awards he has received as an actor--two Tonys, three Emmys, a Golden Globe, two Cable ACEs, two OBIEs, five Drama Desks, and a Grammy—Jones has been honored with the National Medal of Arts in 1992 and the John F. Kennedy Center Honor in December 2002. He also was honored by the Screen Actors Guild with the Lifetime Achievement Award in January of 2009. In the spring of 2005, James Earl Jones starred on Broadway a critically acclaimed revival of On Golden Pond for which he was nominated for a Tony Award and in spring of 2008 portrayed Big Daddy in Cat on a Hot Tin Roof on Broadway followed by a second run of Cat on Hot Tin Roof on stage in London. In 2011, Mr. Jones starred in the Broadway and London productions of Driving Miss Daisy with Vanessa Redgrave and Boyd Gaines and in 2012, starred in the Broadway production of The Best Man, for which he received a Tony nomination. In 2013 Mr. Jones enjoyed a six-month tour of Driving Miss Daisy in Australia starring Angela Lansbury and Boyd Gaines. He also starred in You Can’t Take It With You and The Gin Game—both on Broadway as well. In November 2011, The Board of Governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences presented Mr. Jones with an Honorary Oscar in recognition of his long and distinguished career.

I couldn't help but smile and laugh. Miss Daisy is a trip and she reminds me of my grandma - stubborn as an ox and refusing help even when she needed it. This was so precious to listen to.

Angela, may you rest in peace. You were a bright light in this dark world and one of my heroes. You're missed, but your work will live on forever.

So precious

Excellent performances, it had me laughing and tearing up a bit. I could have listened to it all day. I wish it was longer though. I simply adore Mr. James Earl Jones...always have. Miss Angela Landsbury did a stellar performance, as did Mr. Boyd Gaines. The whole thing was absolutely SPLENDID!!!

AWESOME!
