Daphne Rubin-Vega, Vanessa Aspillaga & More Set for Quiara Alegría Hudes' Daphne’s Dive Off-Broadway

After thrilling us all off-Broadway last year, Daphne Rubin-Vega is back! The Tony nominee, along with Vanessa Aspillaga and more, have been tapped for the world premiere of Daphne’s Dive. Tickets are now on sale for the previously reported production, written by Pulitzer Prize winner Quiara Alegría Hudes and directed by Thomas Kail (Hamilton), which will play a limited engagement April 26 through June 5. Opening night is set for May 15 in the Romulus Linney Courtyard Theatre at the Pershing Square Signature Center.

Along with Rubin-Vega (Rent) as Inez and Aspillaga (Domesticated) as Daphne, the cast will include Carlos Gomez (The Glades) as Acosta, K.K. Moggie (Mercy) as Jenn, Matthew Saldivar (Act One) as Pablo, Tony nominee Gordon Joseph Weiss (Ghetto) as Rey and Samira Wiley (Orange Is The new Black) as Ruby.

Daphne’s Dive is a cheap corner bar in North Philly where Daphne and her vibrant, eclectic regulars drink to art, politics, and life. As Daphne's adopted daughter, very different from her reserved and pragmatic mother, grows up, this unconventional family is forced to confront who's an insider, who's an outsider, and the challenge of opening your heart to strangers.

The production will feature scenic design by Donyale Werle, costume design by Toni-Leslie James, lighting design by Betsy Adams, sound design by Nevin Steinberg and music by Michel Camilo.
