SouthStage Theatre Works proudly presents the *Regional Premiere* of Community Garden, concluding its third season, The Summer of Community, inviting audiences to reflect on love, connection, and what it means to care for one another, all brought to life by a company of emerging professional artists.

Newbie Ralph doesn’t quite know what to expect during his first volunteer shift at Chicago’s Uptown City Gardens. After a few hours, Ralph begins to understand seasoned volunteer Donald’s claim that the garden is magic. In a series of heartfelt and humorous vignettes, Community Garden digs into the ways taking care of the environment helps people take care of each other.
