DQT Presents...
LA ESPERANZA (THE HOPEFULNESS), an important new play by award winning playwright Raquel Almazan.
Anna and Jaqueline, sister sex workers in the Dominican Republic, are stowaways in the hold of a cargo ship headed for France. While trapped in a box, scenes from their past desperately emerge, and when these memories take a dark turn, the lines between the real and the imaginary blur, family secrets are revealed, and Anna and Jaqueline are hurtled toward a future that threatens to be as bleak as their past.
The exciting new play is directed by Gineiris Garcia, featuring Maria Isabella Rojas, Merlixse Ventura, and original music by Dilson Hernandez.
DQT’s mission is to develop and present work by BIPoC and Female-identifying writers; concurrently, cultivate and maintain a diverse audience who is in routine discourse with them.
DQT envisions an American theatre wherein the population of professionally produced playwrights is as diverse as America.
