DIRECTOR’S NOTE I’m going to say it: I love the American Dream! - I truly do.

It’s what led my father to flee his country and cross the ocean to the U.S. It’s what has led me to follow my dreams of living my life being an artist. It is why we are all convening in the theatre today. The American Dream comes with the promise of security, prosperity, luxury even and a fence. There’s always a fence. As is quoted in the play, “Good fences make good neighbors”.

The positive aspect of a fence: a nice healthy boundary with clear demarcation. A visual contract. The not-so-positive aspect of a fence: the automatic assignment of Us vs. Them; and that Us vs. Them business can be so visceral. We are so quick to make enemies of one another.

Now, if you are sitting there thinking “ I never make an enemy out of anyone”… I hate to break it to you, but yes. Yes, you have. I have found in my years of directing and just plain living life that we have this insatiable need to blame someone for the uncomfortable situations in our lives (even if that someone is ourselves).

You will see that the play makes references to our political climate. References to walls, The Man, discrimination, and more. As an audience member, you have a choice (you always have a choice): Option A:You can take in the play at face value and play the blame game along with the characters or Option B: Apply zero blame and see what happens. Either choice, it’ll be a good time.

Thank you for choosing to spend your time with us today. Whether it’s your first time or your 100th time at the theatre, thank you. I hope you enjoy this little “American Dream” we have built for you.

Lo tengo que decir: ¡Me encanta el Sueño Americano! - De verdad, lo amo.

Es lo que llevó a mi padre a huir de su país y cruzar el mar hacia los Estados Unidos, lo que me ha llevado a seguir mis sueños y vivir mi vida como artista, y la razón por la cual estamos reunidos en el teatro hoy. El Sueño Americano viene con la promesa de seguridad, prosperidad, incluso lujo y una cerca. Siempre hay una cerca. Como se cita en la obra, “Buenas cercas hacen buenos vecinos”.

El aspecto positivo de una cerca: un límite agradable y saludable con una demarcación clara. Un contrato visual. El aspecto no tan positivo de una cerca: la asignación automática de Nosotros vs Ellos; esta asignación puede ser tan visceral. Como humanos, somos rápidos en convertir a una persona ajena en un enemigo.

Si estás sentado pensando "Yo nunca hago de nadie un enemigo"... Odio decírtelo, pero sí. Si lo haz hecho. En mis años como directora y simplemente viviendo la vida, me he dado cuenta que tenemos esta necesidad insaciable de culpar a alguien por las situaciones incómodas de nuestras vidas (incluso si ese alguien somos nosotros mismos).

Verás que la obra hace referencia a nuestro clima político. Referencias a las paredes, a The Man, la discriminación y más.Tienes una opción (l audiencia siempre tiene opción): Opción A: Puedes aceptar la obra al pie de la letra y jugar el juego de la culpa junto con los personajes o la Opción B: No culpar a ninguno de los personajes y ver qué pasa. Cualquiera de las dos opciones, creo que la pasaras bien.

Gracias por elegir estar con nosotros hoy. Ya sea su primera vez o su 100ª vez en el teatro, gracias. Espero que disfrutes de este pequeño “sueño americano” que hemos construido para especialmente ti.

Victoria Collado, Director

DRAMATURG'S NOTE Fear is the highest fence. - Dudley Nichols It all begins with a fence and what it means to four people. Is a fence meant to keep out, protect, or mark boundaries? Is it good or bad? Does it hinder or help? And who gets to decide where to mark the land?

Fences, both physical and metaphorical, serve as powerful symbols in Native Gardens.

They are the literal cause of the border dispute between the Del Valles and the Butleys; they represent the cultural and generational divide between the younger Latinx couple and the older white couple next door; it’s also a metaphor for the internal divide Tania and Pablo Del Valle feel as they attempt to negotiate competing identities between their heritage and the dominant culture. To take this further, there’s also the sociopolitical context in which the play exists: the current national border crisis caused by “The Wall” where illegal border crossings have soared to alltime highs and which bring into question debates about who or what is considered invasive or alien to an environment. (“Under the Immigration and Nationality Act of the United States, "[t]he term 'alien' means any person not a citizen or national of the United States.")

Despite all of these highly politicized and, at times, divisive issues Karen Zacarías’ play sheds light on the shared humanity and interconnectedness that can transcend differences. It challenges us to examine our own biases and preconceptions, and, hopefully, promotes a more inclusive and empathetic understanding of issues like cultural and national identity, neighborliness, fear of the unknown, and the toxic nature of divisions.

El miedo es la valla más alta. - Dudley Nichols Todo comienza con una cerca y lo que esto significa para cuatro personas. ¿Cuál es el propósito de una cerca: proteger, excluir, o marcar límites? ¿Es buena o mala? ¿Impide o ayuda? ¿Y quién decide dónde poner la cerca?

Las cercas, tanto físicas como metafóricas, sirven como poderosos símbolos en Native Gardens. Son la causa literal de la disputa fronteriza entre los Del Valles y los Butleys; representan la división cultural y generacional entre la joven pareja latina y la pareja blanca mayor de al lado; también es una metáfora de la división interna que sienten Tania y Pablo Del Valle mientras intentan negociar identidades contrapuestas entre su cultura latina y la cultura dominante. También existe el contexto sociopolítico en el que se desarrolla la obra: la actual crisis fronteriza causada por "The Wall", donde los cruces fronterizos ilegales han alcanzado niveles históricos y donde proliferan los debates sobre quién o qué se considera invasivo o extrajenro. ("Según la Ley de Inmigración y Nacionalidad de los Estados Unidos, el término 'extranjero' se refiere a cualquier persona que no sea ciudadano o nacional de los Estados Unidos").

A pesar de todos estos temas altamente politizados y, a veces, divisivos, la obra de Karen Zacarías arroja luz sobre la humanidad compartida y la interconexión que puede trascender las diferencias. Nos desafía a examinar nuestros propios prejuicios y concepciones, y, promueve positivamente una comprensión más inclusiva y empática de temas como la identidad cultural y nacional, la vecindad, el miedo a lo desconocido y la naturaleza tóxica de las divisiones.

Under the leadership of Producing Artistic Director Bari Newport, GableStage has strived to strengthen appreciation for the role theatre plays in the community by prioritizing the development of its educational initiatives.

In the 2022-2023 Season, GableStage expanded, designed and reimagined its educational programming. Over 5,000 Miami-Dade students and hundreds of adult learners were served by the opportunities made possible by our generous sponsors.

With a mission of confronting today’s issues and ideas, GableStage plays an important role in inspiring optimism and imaginative problem solving to our community.

This season, the production of Twelfth Night was performed through the lens of the Haitian migration to Miami, 22 times in 19 schools spanning from Homestead to North Miami Beach.

Macbeth will be performed in 2023-2024.

Mainstage Student Matinees These special, morning performances introduce high school students to professional, high-quality theatre productions. In 2022-2023, over 1000 students and teachers registered within the first 24 hours of the matinees being posted.

GableStage was proud to have Coral Reef High School as our 2022-23 partner school. We hope to invite two schools to partner with in the upcoming season.

Diary of a Production From script analysis to casting, designing and directing, this class took 15 adult learners deep into the artistic process of bringing a production to life.

IN-KIND SUPPORT WISH LIST There are many ways to support our theatre: you can donate anything from rehearsal/warehouse space to flowers and plants. Donations are tax deductible!

Vehicles VAN: In addition to being able to bring our work to more locations within our community, having our own van will allow us to transport sets, props and costume pieces from storage to the theatre in no time.

CARS: Out-of-town artists need to be able to get around. At the very least, they need to travel from artist housing to the theatre and the grocery store. Having vehicles of our own would eliminate the need to rent a fleet of cars. Help!

Housing Have a guest house, vacation house or Airbnb? Housing with kitchens are needed for out-of-town artists staying two weeks or more.

Rehearsal Space Have a large rec room? We need a mid-size space – 800 sq. ft. or more – to rehearse a play while another production is performing at the theatre.

Warehouse Space Our theatre is intimate. Outside and inside. Extra warehouse space will help us store furniture, props and other materials used in the productions.

Airline Miles Help bring out-of-town artists and playwrights to the productions.

Food & Hospitality Gift Cards Support our artists! Meals are appreciated.

Flowers & Plants Help beautify the entrance to GableStage! Plants and flowers in planters are welcome!
