Synopsis

Our families shape and scar us in equal measures. With a wry humor and biting insight, Paula Vogel's How I Learned to Drive takes the audience on a complex emotional joyride through the childhood of Li'l Bit, an adult woman recounting her struggles growing up in a family of colorful characters and dark secrets. The nostalgia of childhood can mask some powerful demons, and Li'l Bit's relationship with her Uncle Peck is as sweet as it is lethal. With razor-sharp skill, Vogel takes us to the places we've traveled in our own pasts and puts our collective definitions of love and family to the test. It's a play you'll be debating long after the curtain descends.
