Native Gardens
February 18 - March 8, 2025

By Karen Zacarías

Good fences make good neighbors. Or do they? In Karen Zacarías’ outrageous comedy, cultures clash and bad behavior reigns as two sets of well-intentioned neighbors become feuding enemies in a backyard battle for the ages. When expecting parents Tania and Pablo Del Valle move in next door to longtime suburbanites Virginia and Frank Butley, a dispute over their yard’s property line spirals into an epic, flower-flinging war over taste, class, personal identity…and gardening. With Pablo’s upcoming office barbecue party threatening the Butleys’ plans for the future of their yard, can these couples ever learn to love their neighbor and mend the fences that separate them? DC Theatre Scene calls Native Gardens “a true breath of comedic fresh air” which is “biting, perceptive and ultimately hopeful.”

Theatre People
March 25 - April 12, 2025

By Paul Slade Smith
Adapted from Ferenc Molnár’s Play at the Castle

It’s 1948, and the brightest names on Broadway have descended upon a glamorous Newport mansion for a weekend of romance, chaos and more than a few misunderstandings. Join an unforgettable cast of characters populated by a pair of scheming playwrights, a couple of misbehaving actors, a star-struck young author and a disgruntled housekeeper for a comedy that’s a love letter to the theatre and all the people who make it. Author Paul Slade Smith conjures the spirit of the classic screwball comedies of yesteryear with irresistible charm and backstage antics certain to leave you breathless with laughter. After all, who doesn’t love theatre people?

A runaway hit in last year’s Script In Hand playreading series, we’re pleased to offer this rollicking comedy by Connecticut-born playwright Paul Slade Smith as a full production on the Playhouse stage!
