Native Gardens

In Karen Zacarías’ outrageous comedy, running Feb. 18 - March 8 at Westport Country Playhouse, cultures clash and bad behavior reigns as two sets of well-intentioned neighbors become feuding enemies in a backyard battle for the ages. When expecting parents Tania and Pablo Del Valle move in next door to longtime suburbanites Virginia and Frank Butley, a dispute over their yard’s property line spirals into an epic, flower-flinging war over taste, class, personal identity…and gardening. With Pablo’s upcoming office barbecue party threatening the Butleys’ plans for the future of their yard, can these couples ever learn to love their neighbor and mend the fences that separate them? DC Theatre Scene calls Native Gardens “a true breath of comedic fresh air” which is “biting, perceptive and ultimately hopeful.”
