Two-time Tony Award winner Norbert Leo Butz and TV and movie favorite Elizabeth Reaser will co-star in Second Stage Theatre’s forthcoming revival of Paula Vogel’s Pulitzer Prize-winning play How I Learned to Drive. The production will begin previews on January 24, 2012, and open on February 13, for a limited engagement through March 11, directed by Kate Whoriskey.
How I Learned to Drive explores the complex relationship between Li’l Bit (Reaser) and her Uncle Peck (Butz), as a series of driving lessons progresses from innocence to something much darker. The play premiered at the Vineyard Theatre in 1997 in an acclaimed production that starred David Morse and Mary-Louise Parker.
Butz won Best Actor Tony Awards for the musicals Catch Me If You Can and Dirty Rotten Scoundrels and was nominated for a Tony for Thou Shalt Not. His other Broadway credits include Enron, Speed-the-Plow, Is He Dead?, Wicked and Rent. Off-Broadway credits include Fifty Words, Buicks,The Last Five Years, Juno and the Paycock and Saved. Butz's film credits include the forthcoming Greetings From Tim Buckley, Disconnect and The English Teacher and the recently released Higher Ground.
Reaser is best known as the matriarch of the Cullen family of vampires in the Twilight movie series. She received an Emmy nomination for playing Ava on Grey’s Anatomy and an Independent Spirit Award nomination for Sweet Land. Reaser has had a recurring role as Josh Charles' love interest in The Good Wife and will be seen in the forthcoming films Young Adult and Liberal Arts.
