In 1997, Paula Vogel shook the theatre world with her Pulitzer Prize winning play How I Learned to Drive. Two decades later, this heart wrenching, hilarious and surprising tale of survival opens at Open Book Theatre Company in Trenton on May 19th and will run until June 18th.
After 18 months, Open Book Theatre is excited to open its doors to audiences once again. “We kept producing theatre in other ways, but there’s nothing like the energy of being in the room where it happens,” said Artistic Director Krista Schafer Ewbank. “The lights, the sound, the set….it all creates an experience that can’t be beat. Studies show that audience’s heartbeats sync during a live performance. You can get that from streaming Netflix.”
