Flint Repertory Theatre presents the world premiere of Jordan Ramirez-Puckett’s (2024 and 2021 NHP alum) play A Driving Beat.

Mateo, a 14-year-old boy with brown skin, and Diane, his white adoptive mother, take a road trip from their home in Ohio to his birthplace in San Diego. Throughout the journey, they are forced to reconcile their differing identities and what it means to be a family. Developed in Flint Rep’s 2023 New Works Festival.
