Nos vemos all!About the play: Native Gardens brings us to two adjoining backyards with two very different couples: the Del Valles and the Butleys. The new neighbors seem like theyll get along until they discover a problem with the property line. As urgency to solve the issue ramps up, we consider pertinent themes: ownership, identity, and privilege. Native Gardens is a vibrant comedy that asks us a vital question as we emerge from the pandemic what is our relationship to the land we inhabit?Cast features Beatriz Figueroa, Robin Fisher, Tim Gaffaney, and Pano Roditis.
