GALA continues its 48th season with the world premiere in Spanish of Jardín Salvaje (Native Gardens) written and adapted for the GALA stage by Mexican playwright Karen Zacarías. Directed by Cuban director and writer Rebecca Aparicio, Jardín Salvaje opens February 2 and runs through February 26, 2023, at GALA Theatre, 3333 14th Street, NW, Washington, DC 20010. Performed in Spanish with English surtitles, the translation is by Gustavo Ott. Jardín Salvaje was first produced at the Cincinnati Playhouse in the Park in 2016. Since then, it has been staged more than 10 times across the country
Life in this upscale northwest DC neighborhood is anything but peaceful when “The Blochs”, an older conservative Latino couple, meet their new neighbors, “The Del Valles”, a younger Latinx couple who just moved in next door. A shared interest in gardening soon reveals more is at stake than property rights when a fence dispute arises. This witty and hilarious look at a much too common occurrence exposes class, cultural and generational differences where it is least expected.
The Noche de GALA and Press Night is Saturday, February 4, 2023 at 8 pm. Student matinees of Jardín Salvaje are on weekdays at 10:30 am, February 9,10 and 16, 17, 23 & 24. The duration of this show is approximately 90 minutes and is appropriate for anyone 10+ of age.
