Native Gardens by Karen Zacarias
Directed by Ely Sonny Orquiza
March 6th-27th, 2027
From the wickedly funny mind of Karen Zacarías comes a smart, fast-moving comedy about good fences, bad neighbors, and the chaos that erupts when politeness wears thin. When Tania, a very pregnant Ph.D. candidate, and her high-powered lawyer husband Pablo move in next door, longtime homeowners Virginia and Frank are determined to welcome them. The new neighbors hit it off until a mysteriously misplaced fence line threatens Frank’s prize-winning garden. As the stakes grow absurdly high, everyone is forced to confront uncomfortable truths about class, culture, race, and just how ridiculous we can all become when defending our own little patch of earth.
The Wolves by Sarah DeLappe
Directed by Erika March
June 5th-26th, 2027
On cold Saturday mornings at an indoor soccer field, a tight-knit girls’ soccer team warms up, stretches, and readies itself to protect a flawless season. As they lace up their cleats, conversations jump rapidly from the mundane to the monumental, all the while revealing the humor, uncertainty, and the unfiltered thoughts of teenagers standing on the edge of adulthood. Both raw and funny, The Wolves captures the intensity of competition and the complicated bonds forged through teamwork. Through the eyes of these fearless sixteen-year-olds, the play examines identity, aggression, loyalty, and the quiet vulnerability behind the roar of the game, marking Sarah DeLappe as one of the most bold and compelling voices in contemporary theatre.
