Drift is produced by Moresco, James Cahill, Joanna Cahill, Jack Kavanaugh, Leslie Kavanaugh, Kate Mott Morrow, and Karly Fischer.

The creative team includes scenic designer Edward T. Morris, costume designer Gina Ruiz, lighting designer Emily Clarkson, and sound designer Sean Hagerty. The world premiere features original composition by Rolfe Kent and casting by Pat McCorkle.
