TheatreWorks Silicon Valley is presenting the world premiere of a play that was a runaway hit at the company’s New Works Festival last year.
Presented in a rolling world premiere with Flint Repertory Theatre in Flint, MI, “A Driving Beat” runs Oct. 29-Nov. 3 at Mountain View Center for the Performing Arts’ SecondStage.
The play, by Jordan Ramirez Puckett, 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 will host a preshow artist talk Thursday, Oct, 30, at 6:30 p.m. and will hold post-show discussions with the cast on Wednesdays, Nov. 5, 12 and 19.

Audio descriptions for visually impaired audience members will be available at the Sunday, Nov. 9, matinee at 2 p.m. To utilize audio description, patrons should pre-register at 877-662-8978 after purchasing tickets.
