Many of the gala night audience members were obviously fans of “The Waltons” which went off the air in 1981, and Ms. Learned who played Olivia, the mother of John Boy, does not disappoint her fans. She is marvelous.
Speaking about “The Waltons” I did a little research and could not find it being rerun on television right now. The Hallmark channel does run episodes from time to time. But if you want to introduce “The Waltons” to your children or grandchildren then call the Jacksonville Public Library and reserve and check out a DVD of one of the seasons in their system. You can also view brief clips on YouTube. The show was one of the best family shows ever broadcast.
Driving Miss Daisy is a timeless treasure that has remained popular since it debuted in 1987. The 1989 movie with Morgan Freeman and Jessica Tandy won an Oscar for best picture of the year. The Alhambra Theatre is located at 12000 Beach Blvd in Jacksonville. Call 641-1212 or visit alhambrajax.com. Don’t dally and chance missing the darling Daisy. Tickets are going fast.
P.S. – the Alhambra Chef has created a delicious southern style menu just for this show.
