How I Learned to Drive

EXTENDED BY POPULAR DEMAND - NOW THRU OCTOBER 7

A wildly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival as seen through the lens of a troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man. Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for Drama, this 20th anniversary production of HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE directed by Wendy Overly (THE FLICK) comes in the shadow of the #MeToo movement, bringing audiences the incredibly moving story of a woman who learns the rules of the road, and life, from behind the wheel.

Featuring Tanya Anderson Martin as Lil' Bit and Jim O'Brien* as Uncle Peck.

"A tremendous achievement, genuine and genuinely disturbingThis is, quite simply, the sweetest and most forgiving play ever written about child abuseVogel's delicate tactic makes sense not only as a way to redouble the dramatic effect, but as a representation of reality, a perfect case of the form fitting the subject." VILLAGE VOICE

"With subtle humor and teasing erotic encounters, Vogel addresses the dangerous intersections of teenage temptation. She also paints a richly poetic and picturesque landscapeThe play is a potent and convincing comment on a taboo subject, and its impact sneaks up on its audience." VARIETY
