JULY 2022
8, 9, 15, 16, 17, 22, 23
By KAREN ZACARIAS
Directed by CHRISTINE CRAWFIS
It’s true. You can’t choose your neighbors. In this brilliant comedy, cultures and gardens clash, turning well-intentioned neighbors into feuding enemies. Pablo, a rising attorney, and Tania, his pregnant wife, have purchased a home next to Frank and Virginia, a well-established D.C. couple with a prize-worthy English garden. An impending barbeque and a disagreement over a fence line soon spiral into an all-out border dispute.
Native Gardens is presented by arrangement with Concord Theatricals on behalf of Samuel French, Inc. concordtheatricals.com
“The difference between a flower and a weed … is a judgement.”

3-5pm – MOLLY SWEENEY by Brian Friel
Directed by Cindy Topps
Brian Friel’s Molly Sweeney is the story of Molly, a woman blind since infancy who is about to undergo an operation to restore her sight. The play is told through interwoven monologues by the three characters. Molly is happy with the life she has but her husband Frank pushes her to have an operation as he is convinced her vision is the key to their future. Mr. Rice, a once renowned eye surgeon, believes Molly’s operation will restore his career which was ruined by alcoholism.
The play takes place in Ireland so accents will be used for both Molly and Frank. Mr. Rice, although Irish, has lived and traveled the world so his accent can be less pronounced or identifiable.
The breakdown of the age of the characters is Molly -40, Frank 40-50, Mr. Rice Over 50
