The Landing Theatre Company opens its 2015-2016 season with a Landing/Obsidian co-production of Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize winning How I Learned to Drive. Previews are September 4th and 5th; opens Sunday September 6th; performances run through September 26th.
Set in a rural Maryland town, this play explores the sexual relationship that developed between Li'l Bit and her Uncle Peck during her formative teenage years. The story, ultimately about self-discovery, examines the basic humanity that binds the two characters. Cleverly conceived with three Chorus members playing her family and the rest of the people in her life, the play’s poignant, daring and often surprisingly funny.
This masterwork of American playwriting is one of Paula Vogel's greatest dramatic achievements, having won the Pulitzer, Obie, Drama Desk Award, New York Critic’s Circle Award, Outer Circle Critics Award and the Lucille Lortel Award.
The talented cast includes Kara Greenberg as Li’l Bit, Tom Stell as Uncle Peck, and Storey Hinojosa, Benjamin McLaughlin and Lindsey Sweeney as the multi-faceted Greek Chorus. Paige Kiliany directs the production, and the design team includes Scenic Design by Clinton Hopper, Costume Design by Erica Griese, Lighting Design by Thomas Murphy and Sound Design by Alex Worthington.
