Show more >>
Pablo (Kevin Cruz), a rising attorney, and doctoral candidate Tania (Diana Garle), his very pregnant wife, have just purchased a home next to Frank (David Kwiat) and Virginia (Barbara Sloan), a well-established D.C. couple with a prize-worthy English garden. But an impending barbeque for Pablo's colleagues and a delicate disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out border dispute, exposing both couples' notions of taste, class and privilege.
“This is the funniest play I have come across in a long time,” says producing artistic director Bari Newport. “Audiences of all ages will agree that this is the perfect summer comedy. It is unique in that you will not only be wiping your eyes from laughter, but also with plenty to talk about on the car ride home.”
Native Gardens stars a cast of South Florida’s finest actors. David Kwiat, last seen in the GableStage 2019 production of Weisenthal, shares the spotlight with Silver Palm Award recipient Barbara Sloan (The White Card). A familiar face on South Florida stages, television and film, Diana Garle (Watson), returns to GableStage. Plus, recent New World graduate Kevin Cruz making his GableStage debut.
Performance times are as follows: Performances June 9 - July 16

Springfield Pride
Imagined from today's headlines, a story of politics, tense alliances, and deep conflict. When a liberal, cis-gender politician's off-record comments about Black Lives Matter become public and don't at all match his public, social justice persona, can he still remain the Grand Marshal of Springfield's Gay Pride Parade happening in just three days?
A new play about the divisions within the LGBTQ+ community and the growing ethnic, race, gender, and generational divide. As the movement is challenged from within, can its complex agenda and its traditional partnerships and social justice alliances still find a unified message? Is such a thing even possible today, especially when the clock is ticking and strong voices are in the room?
Performances run Thursday to Sunday.

Trying
In 1967, feisty Sarah Schorr, a 25-year-old from rural Canada, goes to work as secretary for 81-year-old Francis Biddle, the patrician former US Attorney General. The brilliant Biddle is now frail, sometimes befuddled, and always irascible. Inspired by the playwright's experiences as Biddle's secretary, the piece is a tender yet unsentimental portrait of two disparate people navigating their vast differences to form a bond of mutual admiration, consideration, and respect.
