If you’re looking for a summer comedy to brighten up your days, look no further than “Native Gardens” by Karen Zacarías. Directed by Victoria Collado and starring Diana Garle, Kevin Cruz, Barbara Sloan, and David Kwiat, this play is sure to have audiences laughing and cheering.
The story centers around two couples – Pablo and Tania, who are new to the neighborhood, and Frank and Virginia, who have been there for years. At first, things seem friendly enough, but when a disagreement over a fence line erupts into a full-blown border dispute, tensions rise and tempers flare.
As the comedy unfolds, we see the characters’ true colors come out, exposing their notions of race, taste, class, and privilege. It’s a thought-provoking look at the ways in which our differences can cause conflict, but also how they can ultimately bring us together.
Whether you see it in person or stream it from home, “Native Gardens” is a must-see for anyone who loves a good laugh and a great story. So mark your calendars for June 9 – July 16 and get ready for an unforgettable night at the theater.
