By QUIARA ALEGRÎA HUDES
Directed by LUCIE TIBERGHIEN
On the Arcadia Stage
A group of strangers seek connection, recovery, and redemption in this commanding new play that redefines what it means to be a family. From the Main Line to Girard Avenue, Swarthmore College to an online chat room, playwright Quiara Alegría Hudes draws from her Philadelphia roots for this Pulitzer Prize winning play.
