PlayMakers Repertory Company
By Karen Zacarías Directed by Patrick Torres
A comedy that is anything but neighborly
Good fences don’t always make good neighbors, but they do make for great comedy! An upwardly-mobile Latinx couple with a baby on the way couldn’t be more excited about their new home, or their friendly new neighbors. But when a polite disagreement over a property line turns into a backyard brawl, cultures collide and mudslinging ensues…literally.
Due to some mild language use, we encourage all patrons to use their own discretion in determining the appropriateness of the material.
Approximately 90 minutes. (Subject to change.)
(March 17, 4:00pm): ALL PERFORMANCES OF NATIVE GARDENS HAVE BEEN CANCELLED DUE TO THE COVID-19 PANDEMIC.

Behind the Curtain
As part of our 2019/20 Legacy | NOW season, PlayMakers is hosting a series of post-show conversations facilitated by local artists, scholars, and cultural workers entitled: Where Are We NOW? After select performances, we will invite audience members to gather in an adjacent space for a fluid, dynamic, and intergenerational discussion on the themes of each play. You don’t even need to have tickets for that performance in order to join us for the conversation!
