It's a good time for Karen Zacarías' smart, funny, socially relevant comedies. On the heels of
Theatre in the Round's hilarious production of The Book Club Play,
DalekoArts is presenting Native Gardens (last seen in #TCTheater at the
Guthrie in 2017). Both are really fun and entertaining shows, but with a depth that might make you think a little about some important themes, while perhaps making you a little uncomfortable (in a good way).
Native Gardens deals with subtle racism (and agism, sexism, and classism), inherent biases, immigration, the environment, and what it means to be a good neighbor. With a wonderful cast and excellent design on their small stage, Daleko brings out all of the humor and the nuances in this great script. Take advantage of the mild weather this February and make the drive down to New Prague to see
Native Gardens (
continuing through February 26).
