“Native Gardens” opens at Hampton Theatre Company

“Native Gardens,” the first play of the Hampton Theatre Company’s new season, opened this week at the Quogue Community Hall.

The play by Karen Zacarias, brings home the often-hysterical truth of the old saying that “you can’t choose your neighbors.” When cultures and gardens collide, it turns two well-intentioned couples into feuding enemies.

Among the actors in the production are Terrance Fiore as Frank; Martha Kelly as Virginia; Samantha Herrera as Tania; and Edwin Alexander Cruz as Pablo Del Valle.

Directed by George Loizides, “Native Gardens” runs through Nov. 7, with shows on Thursdays and Fridays at 7 p.m., Saturdays at 8 p.m., and Sundays at 2:30 p.m. An additional matinee performance will be offered on Saturday, Nov. 6 at 2:30 p.m. 

Ticket holders will be required to show photo IDs and either proof of vaccination or documentation of a negative COVID-19 test within 72 hours of the day of the performance they are attending. Face-covering masks will be required at all times while inside the theater.Tickets are $36, $31 for seniors and $20 for students 25 and under. To purchase tickets: visit www.hamptontheatre.org
