How about that snow?
Jamie Ulmer • January 6, 2025
How about that snow? As we dig out from this mega-dose of winter, let’s shift our focus to the joys of spring and summer. Think about working your snow-free garden, tending to beautiful plants and flowers, while keeping an eye on what’s happening in your neighbor’s backyard.
With those delightful warm thoughts in mind, our first regular season production of 2025, “Native Gardens” opening next week, will plant the seed of laughs, warmth, and sprout some thoughts too. This relatively new play is filled with fun and comedy as a misplaced fence line leads to an all-out feud between neighboring couples. This timely and topical comedy is a great way to dig out of the winter doldrums.
While it’s cold outside, it’s a hot time at TL. In addition to “Native Gardens” we have two other shows in rehearsal, youth productions and classes, and a new adult dance class every Saturday morning. TL is definitely defrosting your winter blues.
See you at the theatre
