"Somewhere" at Checota Powerhouse Theater, Associated Bank Theater Center

From Tony Award–winning playwright Matthew Lopez comes Somewhere, a tender and riveting portrait of a tight-knit Puerto Rican family in 1959 New York City. Set against the excitement and energy of Broadway’s West Side Story, the Candelaria siblings chase their dreams of dancing on stage, buoyed by their mother’s love and infectious enthusiasm. When their building is slated for demolition to make way for Lincoln Center, the family must navigate heartbreak, hope, and the unshakable bonds that hold them together. Bursting with music, dance, humor, and heart, this joyous, moving story is a celebration of family, resilience, and the American Dream.

“Richly written and emotionally resonant… Lopez captures the ache of memory and the hope of reinvention.” — The New York Times
