Cabaret On Main Theater,  597 MAIN ST, East Haven, CT, 06512

Some friendships change the way we see the world.
This weekend, experience Daisy and Hoke’s story up close at Cabaret on Main Theater.
Driving Miss Daisy begins with two people who don’t see eye to eye. Over the years, their conversations become something deeper: a friendship full of humor, stubbornness, trust, and moments that may stay with you long after the show ends.
At Cabaret on Main, the actors perform just feet from the audience, while our 280-degree projections draw you into the world around them. It’s an intimate, immersive way to experience this story.
Performances this weekend:
Friday, September 25th at 7 PM Saturday, September 26 at 2 PM and 7 PM Sunday, September 27 at 2 PM


Join us in East Haven. Premium Cabaret seating is available if you’d like to bring your own food and drinks; Standard Theatre seating is also available.
