Review: THAT DRIVE THRU MONTEREY at Stages Houston

It is impressive and, one imagines, deeply humbling to see a story so personal given theatrical life. In his opening night remarks, Olmos spoke about the closeness of this material to his own heart. The play centers on his mother and her first love, who, as we discover, is not Olmos’ father. What unfolds is a glimpse into a world that existed before the playwright’s own, intimate in origin but recognizable in its emotional terrain.
