Auditions Tonight for "How I Learned to Drive"

A reminder that auditions are tonight for How I Learned to Drive. Here's the info:

"Sometimes to tell a secret, you first have to teach a lesson,” says Lil Bit, the main character in How I Learned to Drive.

The lesson in Paula Vogel's Pulitzer Prize-winning play isn't so much about driving as it is about survival, forgiveness and growth.

How I Learned to Drive will be presented March 8-11 at the Jeslyn Performing Arts Center.

Auditions for How I Learned to Drive will be held Monday, January 23 at 6:30 p.m. at Kuhn Memorial Presbyterian Church, 955 Main Street in Barboursville, W.Va. Roles are available for men and women over 18 years old. Please park in the lot in the back of the church and enter through the rear door. Please arrive promptly and be prepared to read.
