Tending God’s lovely creation

Firefly Community Theatre, with Pittsburg Camp County Arts Council, will deliver a fun and emotional ride with a production of Alfred Uhry’s Driving Miss Daisy July 14-16 at Pittsburg High School Auditorium. As the comedy that won a Pulitzer Prize, Driving Miss Daisy is a subtle portrait of the changing nature of relationships between black and white in the South over the decades. As the years – and cars – pass, Jewish widow Daisy Werthan and her chauffeur Hoke Coleburn deal with growing racial tensions, social upheaval, and deep understanding, along with forgiveness, to become respectful and protective friends.

The Pittsburg Rotary Club installed new officers for the 2023-2024 year on June 29. Sabin Warrick, Rotarian of the Year for 2022-2023, had the honor of presenting this year’s winner of the title, Roni Arias.
