Synopsis: "Daphne's Drive is a cheap corner bar in North Philly where Daphne and her eclectic group of friends and family meet, talk, bond and drink. As Daphne's adopted daughter, very different from her quiet and pragmatic mother, grows up, this unconventional family is forced to confront ugly secrets and take a hard look at their lives. Brimming with adversity, love and hope, this world premiere kicks off Quiara Alegría Hudes' Signature Residency."
The creative team behind Daphne's Drive includes scenic design by Donyale Werle, costume design by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design by Betsy Adams, sound design by Nevin Steinberg and music composition by Michel Camilo.
