Abstract

How I Learned to Drive by Paula Vogel, written in 1997, discusses a topic that no one really wants to talk about: Child Sexual Abuse (CSA). Yet the play is widely read and largely beloved because of the way it combines the seriousness of CSA with tasteful and appropriate humor. This project's aim was to introduce the topic of CSA to an audience of Vogel's play and to begin a dialogue with the audience about CSA.
