How I Learned to Drive
March 19 - 21 & 26 - 28, 2010
Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for drama, "How I Learned to Drive" concerns an affair between its protagonist, Li'l Bit, and her uncle Peck. The affair takes place over the course of years, with the character of Li'l Bit maturing from age eleven to eighteen before she puts an end to it. In spite of the serious situation, there are many comical elements of the play, which avoids the expected condemnation of this situation to look at the basic humanity that binds these two characters. It uses just three actors, in addition to those playing Li'l Bit and Peck, to represent all of the other characters who affect their lives.
