Press release from Hippodrome Theatre
GAINESVILLE, Fla. –
The Hippodrome Theatre is proudly presenting:
Native Gardens
by Karen Zacarías
March 10-26; Previews March 8-9
In this brilliant comedy, cultures, and gardens clash to turn well-intentioned neighbors into feuding enemies. 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 the well-established Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of class, privilege, and entitlement. The riotous results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a rose.
Skillful Comedy…Bright and Witty and Clever.” – Cincinnati.com
“A ‘Woke’ DICK VAN DYKE SHOW for the Stage- “I LOVE LUCY with substance…and hope for today”
“Native Gardens is a true breath of comic fresh air. It’s a biting, perceptive, and ultimately hopeful sendup to our fraught relationships with those around us – even right next door. Beyond snappy one-liners and garden hose fights, the play challenges audiences to look beyond petty differences and rediscover our shared decency.” – DC Theatre Scene
