Theater companies can submit their theater listings — one per form — at bit.ly/TheaterGuideForm to be included in the weekly Theater Guide inside Sunday's Arts & Culture section.
Here's a guide to performances in the Palm Springs area:
'Native Gardens'
Tania yearns to build a fence and transform her yard into a native garden of the local region, based on her culture and aesthetic. Neighbor Frank has a more conventional notion of what a garden should look like. Civility and kindness fades, as the gloves come off and the digs start. Frank and Tania ultimately reveal their biases towards each other, when a twist of fate amplifies their conflicting vision for Native Gardens. All emotions are on display for the audience to share, as Tania and Frank struggle to reclaim their humanity, despite learned judgments.(Comedy)
