2021 and 2024 NHP alum Jordan Ramirez Puckett’s play A Driving Beat will receive the second production of its rolling world premiere at TheatreWorks Silicon Valley.

A mother with a history. An adopted son who wants one. Set to the teen’s hip-hop beat, their cross-country road trip is a voyage of discovery, identity, understanding, and the depths of love. Can a white mom and a brown son find common ground in their uncommon pasts? Sometimes it’s the journey, not the destination.
