Daphne Rubin-Vega stars as Beatriz, described in a press release as "a flawed mom to 16-year-old Olivia, and an undocumented immigrant on the verge of deportation. After living estranged from each other for years, mother and daughter embark on a road trip that crosses state lines. Together they meet Americans of different backgrounds, shared dreams, and complicated truths in this powerful new show with vast heart and fierce humor."
In addition to Rubin-Vega, the cast includes Danny Bolero, Andrew Cristi, Latoya Edwards, Shawna M. Hamic, Gizel Jiménez, David Patrick Kelly, and Michael Mulheren. Marinda Anderson and Marcus Paul James complete the company.
The production will be directed by Lear deBessonet, and will feature choreography by Danny Mefford, scenic design by Riccardo Hernandez, costume design by Emilio Sosa, lighting design by Tyler Micoleau, and sound design by Jessica Paz.
