Paula Vogel's Pulitzer-winning "How I Learned To Drive" is a darkly funny, surprising and devastating tale of survival as seen through the lens of a troubling relationship between a young girl and an older man.
The 1950s pop music accompanying Li’l Bit’s excursion down memory lane cannot drown out the ghosts of her past. Sweet recollections of driving with her beloved uncle intermingle with lessons about the darker sides of life. Balmy evenings are fraught with danger; seductions happen anywhere. Li’l Bit navigates a narrow path between the demands of family and her own sense of right and wrong.
Performances begin at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays, Jan. 24-Feb. 8, with a 3 p.m. matinee on Feb. 9.
Tickets cost $18 for adults and $17 for seniors and students, and can be reserved by calling (732) 969-7555. No credit cards will be accepted.
The show is directed by John Dowgin and stars Faith Dowgin as Li'l Bit; Todd Jones as Uncle Peck; and Mike Sundberg, Heidi Hart and Kristen Bennet as the Greek chorus.
There will be a wine-and-cheese party after the opening night performance.
