About the Show
TheatreWorks debuts Jordan Ramirez Puckett’s “A Driving Beat” in an intimate production at MVCPA’s SecondStage. This vibrant voyage exploring identity, understanding, and the depths of love will be presented in a rolling World Premiere with Flint Repertory Theatre (Flint, MI). A runaway hit from TheatreWorks’ 2024 New Works Festival, “A Driving Beat” follows a mother-son cross-country road trip peppered with the teen’s hip-hop music as a brown son and his white mother seek common ground in their uncommon pasts. TheatreWorks Associate Producer of Casting & Literary Management Jeffrey Lo helms this poignant play.
