Native Gardens @ Herberger Theater Center
Oct 12 @ 7:30 pm

An absolutely hilarious new comedy that’s anything but neighborly! High-powered lawyer Pablo and wife Tania, a doctoral candidate, are working toward the American dream. They move into a well-to-do, mostly white neighborhood in our nation’s capital. A delicate disagreement over a long-standing fence line soon spirals into an all-out, laugh-out-loud comic border dispute, exploring what is an otherwise hot-button issue through a refreshing comedic lens.

West Side Story @ Phoenix Theatre
Oct 12 @ 7:30 pm

Stephen Sondheim and Leonard Bernstein’s breakout musical comes to life onstage at Phoenix Theatre. When Tony falls for Maria, it seems like love could conquer all…until their rival gangs go to war. They’ll risk everything to be together, and they may have to.

Fun Home @ Phoenix Theatre
Oct 12 @ 8:00 pm

Five-time Tony Award® winner and winner of Best Musical, Fun Home is Alison Bechdel’s coming-of-age journey of self-discovery. Middle-aged cartoonist Alison is joined by two younger versions of herself from pivotal times in her life. They lead us through her dysfunctional childhood, her coming-out, and her father’s death, shortly after his own coming-out. A story of reflection, bittersweet memories, and the moments of pure joy that shine through the darkness, Fun Home is a one-of-a-kind musical experience.

Matinees on Saturday and Sunday at 3 pm.

Oct 13 @ 7:00 pm

Music, storytelling and sing-along with the incomparable Shuly Nathan.

TIckets: $10 adults, $15 at the door; $5 ages 15 & under, $8 at the door.

Shuly Nathan – Born to a long chain of artists and musicians, Shuly took up guitar and singing at the age of 16. During her service in the Israeli army, she landed performances in several amateur radio programs. Her fame came overnight when songwriter Naomi Shemer heard her voice and asked Shuly to sing her new song about Jerusalem, which had been commissioned by Mayor Teddy Kolleck. The song was “Yerushalayim Shel Zahav” or “Jerusalem of Gold,” and it was first sung at an Independence Day song contest. Two weeks later the Six Day War broke out, and “Jerusalem of Gold” became the hymn and prayer of the war. The song quickly became an unofficial hymn of Israel, second only to “Ha Tikva.”
