The DENIZEN Theatre presents the WORLD PREMIER of “IF I NEEDED SOMEONE” beginning April 1st and running through May 3rd, 2020. Written by Tony award nominated playwright, Neil Labute, “IF I NEEDED SOMEONE” is sure to wow audiences with its bold themes and controversial subject matter. Two young people meet at a party and decide to go back to the woman’s apartment to keep the night going. Both afraid to call it ‘a date,’ they drink beer and sit on the bed as they tip-toe around what they believe to be the new rules of engagement in the #METOO era.

This workshop is for anyone who wants to start a vegetable garden, incorporating basic skills for new gardeners. Topics covered will include: planning the garden (what goes where and when), preparing the soil, fencing the garden, planting and raising seedlings, companion planting, making and using compost, and weeding and mulching. Participants will walk away with the information and hands-on experience they need to get started this spring in their own garden.
