OUR EVENT TIMES

Native Gardens

By Karen Zacarías

Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and doctoral candidate Tania, his very pregnant wife, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege, and entitlement. The hilarious results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a rose.

This show contains some mild language.

Fading stage stars George and Charlotte Hay are clinging to one last shot at glory while performing repertory in Buffalo, New York.
