Aqua City Actors Theatre (ACAT) of Waterville opens its production of How I Learned to Drive on the weekend of Friday September 4th at 730 PM. The play written by Paul Vogel concerns an affair between its protagonist, named Li'l Bit, and her uncle Peck. The affair takes place over the course of years, with the character of Li'l Bit maturing from age eleven to eighteen before she puts an end to it. In spite of the serious situation, there are many comical elements of the play, which avoids the expected condemnation of this situation to look at the basic humanity that binds these two characters. How I Learned to Drive is noteworthy its many awards, including the 1998 Pulitzer Prize for drama.
