Pablo and Tania Del Valle are a young Latinx couple who have recently relocated to an affluent Washington, D.C, neighborhood. Pablo is a rising attorney, and his very pregnant wife Tania is preparing to defend her doctoral dissertation. Their next-door neighbors, Virginia and Frank Butley are welcoming but nervous about changes to their community. While replacing their fence, the Del Valles discover that their property line falls two feet into the middle of Frank’s prized garden. What begins as a property debate soon spirals into a comedic border dispute, exposing both couples’ notions of race, caste, class, and privilege. Find the theatre on Google Maps at 3R5M+RH Redlands, California.
