The Omaha Community Playhouse (OCP) is holding auditions for the upcoming production of Native Gardens on Saturday, Nov. 2 at 1 p.m. and Sunday, Nov. 3 at 10 a.m. at OCP, located at 6915 Cass St, Omaha, NE 68132.
Production: Native Gardens
Show Dates: Feb. 14–March 15, 2020
Theatre: Howard Drew Theatre
Omaha Community Playhouse
Rehearsals: Begin Jan. 3, 2020
Description: When Pablo and Tania purchase a new home in a well-to-do white neighborhood, the couple next door initially offer a friendly welcome. But when a laughable property line disagreement dissolves into an all-out turf war, the dirt begins to fly. Packed with witty quips—and plenty of back-and-forth mudslinging—Native Gardens is a side-splitting reminder that, despite our differences, we all share a much larger common ground.
