Directly on the heels of Ovation Award nominations for 'Best Play - Intimate Theatre' and 'Best Director' for his recent smash-hit production of Equus, The Production Company's Artistic Director August Viverito grapples another theatrical gem, Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning How I Learned to Drive.

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, How I Learned to Drive is the story of a woman who learns the rules of the road and life from behind the wheel.

Winner of the 1998 Pulitzer Prize. Co-winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize. Co-winner of the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for outstanding play.

"Ms. Vogel has written a lovely, harrowing guide to the crippling persistence of one woman's memories." --NY Times.

"...How I Learned to Drive is a tremendous achievement, genuine and genuinely disturbing...This is, quite simply, the sweetest and most forgiving play ever written about such serious subject matter ...Vogel'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 landscape...The play is a potent and convincing comment on a taboo subject, and its impact sneaks up on its audience." --Variety.

"...How I Learned to Drive turns out to be a most compelling ride." --BackStage
