Frankie searches Philadelphia libraries for her long-lost love, Jack snaps photos of the city like love letters for Megg, and Sam tries to help his mother, Jeanette, cope after the death of her older son. As five individuals struggle to cope with love and loss, they are divided by addictions both physical and emotional and united by a need to find acceptance in the city that lives and breathes around them. Hope Street and Other Lonely Places explores what it means to "hope" in the City of Brotherly Love.
Originally presented through our Spotlight Series: New Play Readings in 2009, we are thrilled to premiere the work of this Philadelphia Playwright.
