Native Gardens | Live Theatre in Rockford, IL | Artists’ Ensemble Theatre

You can choose your house. Your neighbors are another story.
Tania and Pablo are expecting their first child and settling into a new home. Next door, Frank and Virginia have a beautiful garden, established routines, and opinions about how things should be done.
Everyone gets along beautifully until a disagreement over the property line turns their backyards into a battleground. The more they dig in, the harder it becomes to find common ground.
Artists’ Ensemble Theatre presents Native Gardens by Karen Zacarías, a sharp, funny comedy about good intentions, questionable assumptions, and the people on the other side of the fence.
Featuring Kahla Conley, Marcus Martinez, Susan Gosdick and Gary Wingert.
Whether you’re a familiar face at AET or joining us for the first time, bring a friend and enjoy a night of live theatre. You don’t need a green thumb to appreciate this neighborhood dispute.
November 5 through 22, 2026
