Check out @concordshows for the next installment of #ReadMorePlays 👇 Repost from @concordshows • We're delighted to announce the next installment of our Read More Plays Club! 📚 Join us on Tuesday, July 27 at 5pm ET for a discussion with Native Gardens' playwright Karen Zacarías. In Native Gardens, a disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out war of taste, class, privilege and entitlement. Gardens and cultures clash, turning friendly neighbors into feuding enemies in this hilarious comedy of good intentions and bad manners. 🏡 Visit the link in bio for info on how to participate and get a discounted copy of the script! #readmoreplays
