How I Learned (NOT) To Drive

A 2025 Philly Fringies Frontrunner Pick

“(How I Learned (NOT) To Drive)...a fabulous piece of live theater. Jesse's expressions and delivery are outstanding, bringing vulnerability, humor, and energy to the story. It is an immensely relatable story of trauma, loneliness, love, and overcoming fear, and his performance makes it impossible to not become completely invested in the story.” - Broadway World

How I Learned (NOT) To Drive, directed by Indie Theatre Hall of Fame director Padraic Lillis, deals with the very true story of a 40-year-old Florida man overcoming his lifelong fear of the open road and getting his driver’s license in a desperate attempt to save his marriage. It’s like a live-action version of the Fast & Furious, but funnier, more anxious, and only 60 minutes.
