Virginia Stage Announces Diverse Cast to Star in NATIVE GARDENS

Virginia Stage Company brings to life National Latino Playwriting Award winner Karen Zacharias poignant modern comedy, Native Gardens. When is a fence more than just a fence? In this hilarious and topical comedy, a rising attorney, Pablo, and Tania his pregnant, PhD candidate wife clash with their well-intentioned neighbors and learn that sometimes the small things in life represent a lot more. The ensuing battle of tossed words and acorns challenges the characters and audience to examine their views on race, affluence, and influence, as it shines a light on just what it means to be a good neighbor.

This production will mark the first time that Virginia Stage has staged a production with multiple Latinx characters in leading roles.

Native Gardens begins with previews on April 10 and must close April 28. Tickets range $20 - $55 with discounts for groups, students, and the military. For more information about group tickets and events, contact Tiara Dimond at groups@vastage.org.

This production is recommended for ages 14 and up due to mild adult themes and language.
