Theatre Columbus State offers Summer Quarter production
Theatre Columbus State will present “How I Learned to Drive” written by Paula Vogel and directed by Nancy Kephart. This is the last of the group’s season of comedies—a dark comedy about a dysfunctional family with an unacknowledged secret at its center.
“How I Learned to Drive” won the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for drama and was a co-winner of the Susan Smith Blackburn Prize and the 1998 Lucille Lortel Award for an outstanding play. It's funny. It's surprising. It's not to be missed!
Performance dates and times are August 19 – 22, evenings at 8 p.m.; Thursday (8/20) matinee at 3 p.m. Performances held in Nestor Hall Auditorium.
Admission is free!
