How I Learned to Drive

Devanaughn Theatre’s dynamic 5th Anniversary Season champions the female playwright and explores human interconnections through themes of desire, despair, betrayal and courage. What does it mean to have a sense of belonging… to the land… in one’s own skin… and to someone else? And what will we do when that sense of belonging is threatened?

No play tackles these themes better than Paula Vogel’s masterpiece 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. It is the story of a woman who learns the rules of the road – and of life – from behind the wheel. Dani Duggan directs.
