by Matthew López
Directed by Laurie Woolery
From the Tony Award-winning writer of The Inheritance and The Legend of Georgia McBride comes a music and dance-filled portrait of a tight-knit Puerto Rican family striving to make it in show business.
It’s 1959, West Side Story is a Broadway sensation, and the Candelarias’ small Manhattan apartment is filled with big love and plenty of talent. With news of a film version of the hit musical in the works, it seems that the family’s dreams of the spotlight might finally come true. But a sudden notice announcing a neighborhood-wide eviction threatens to destroy their home and the passions that have sustained their American Dream.
Dance, family bonds, and unextinguishable hope take center stage in Somewhere by DCPA fan-favorite Matthew López.
Bursts with ideas and feeling and a boisterous (if bittersweet) sense of romance…Robust and entertaining!
