Everything in the Garden is the third show of Birmingham Festival Theatre’s “Pursuit of Happiness” Season; a piercing examination of contemporary suburban mores written with humor, irony and suspense by brilliant American playwright Edward Albee.

In George Oppenheimer's words: "As always with Mr. Albee there is a theme beneath the surface, in this case the corruption of money and the rottenness of this bigoted exurbia where conformity to its illiberal standards and its hypocritical show of respectability is all that counts. The scene is the suburban home of Jenny and Richard. The only thing that seems to stand in the way of their happiness is a lack of money. The action starts in an entertaining comedy of manners style. Then abruptly there enters a Mrs. Toothe, the menacing and fascinating person who offers Jenny the opportunity to make more money than they have ever had, to buy a greenhouse and all the other luxuries that they require for their garden and their lives." What seems to be an easy solution rears it's head to a world of conflict and self-interest.

Everthing in the Garden is directed by Ellise Mayor and stars: Rita Cowell (Cynthia), Pam Elder (Mrs. Toothe), Howard Green (Jack), James Kitchens (Gilbert), Annalise Kueller (Beryl), Tom Montgomery (Chuck), Leslie Price (Louise), Logan Price (Roger), Shawn Reese (Richard), and Ty Taylor (Perry)

The show will run Thursday, March 8th through Saturday, March 24th; Thursday, Friday and Saturday shows at 8 pm and matinee performance on Sunday, March 18th at 2 pm. There will be a reception following opening night on March 8th and a forum with the director and cast following the performance on Friday, March 15th.
