How I Learned to Drive
By Paula Vogel
Directed by Tessara Morgan Farley
February 16th – March 10th, 2024
A wildly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival in which Li’l Bit, now a woman in her 30’s, comes to terms with the complex childhood relationship she had with her Uncle Peck. Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning thunderbolt of a play brings theatre back to its roots in storytelling and personal and social history.
Content Disclosure: This play depicts sexual abuse, pedophilia, and alcoholism.
Recommended for mature audiences
HOW I LEARNED TO DRIVE remains incisive and affecting, not only in the ways that it explores sexual trauma as a personal experience but also in how it places that experience within a larger social matrix.
