Community Garden

Newbie Ralph doesn’t quite know what to expect during his first volunteer shift at Chicago’s Uptown City Gardens. It’s certainly not the vibrant, bustling community that passes through the green space, checking on their plants, composting their food scraps, meeting up with friends and – surprisingly often – falling in love. After a few hours, Ralph begins to understand seasoned volunteer Donald’s claim that the garden is magic. In a series of heartfelt and humorous vignettes, Community Garden digs into the ways taking care of the environment helps people take care of each other. Premiering in 2022, Community Garden has become a staple of high school theatre with over 200 performances. This Regional Premiere marks the first time the play has been produced in New York City. This site-specific production set in an actual New York Community Garden is sure to warm audiences' hearts and inspire them to get involved in their own communities!
