PHILADELPHIA – A unique new play is hitting the stage at the Drake Hotel in Center City. It combines the themes of family, heritage and culture and it's portrayed by a diverse cast of bilingual actresses.

"Part of why I wanted to write the play was because, as a Black person, a lot of conversations about my experience didn't include the fact that I'm Latinx and as a Latinx person, vice versa," Philadelphia playwright AZ Espinoza said.

They reverted to their roots while writing "All My Mothers Dream in Spanish," a new bilingual play inspired by Afro-Venezuelan folk history.
