“Native Gardens” at Meadow Brook Theatre
Wednesday, April 10, 2024
Join us as we make the trip to Meadow Brook Theatre to watch the comedy “Native Gardens” Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and doctoral candidate Tanya, his very pregnant wife, are realizing the American dream when they purchase a house next door to community stalwarts Virginia and Frank. But a disagreement over a long standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege, and entitlement. The hilarious results guarantee no one comes out smelling like a rose. Before the show, we will have a pizza buffet lunch at Red Ox Tavern, which includes different kinds of pizza slices, a house or caesar salad, and a beverage. Everything is included in the trip cost.
