William Street Rep
Native Gardens

Pay: Yes

Description:

Williams Street Repertory is holding auditions for Native Gardens.

SUMMARY:
Pablo, a high-powered lawyer, and his very pregnant doctoral candidate wife, Tania, 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.
