Good fences make good neighbors . . . right?

A millennial, Latinx couple moves in next door to a white, baby boomer couple in Karen Zacarías’ topical new comedy. After some good-natured ribbing over gardening styles–traditional designs versus the eco-friendlier native plants–the couples find themselves at odds over an unexpected property line dispute. A dispute that explodes into a host of verbal jabs and blows over race, culture, privilege, and the meaning of neighborly behavior.

Have you noticed the days are getting shorter? The sun is starting to set earlier, nights are getting darker, and we even turned our clocks back to make our mornings brighter. Around this time of year, many cultures even celebrate holidays by including lights in their festivities. Join us as we make one-of-a-kind lanterns and light up the afternoon with a lantern procession through Discovery Woods! Inclement weather may result in changes to the program, or cancellation.
