The Prized Garden of Beaverton Proper Takes the Stage April 3-5

Publish Date: April 2, 2026

Come join us in the Black Box Theater for The Prized Garden of Beaverton Proper. A hilarious and charming show you won't want to miss! 
 
“One woman’s garden. One town’s scandal. Zero surviving begonias.” 

Beulah BumpinPickles has spent years cultivating her crowning achievement: the most dazzling, envy-inducing garden in all of Beaverton Proper. When the Beaverton Gazette announces they’ll be featuring it in their Sunday spread, Beulah is floating on cloud nine—until she wakes up to a horticultural horror. Her garden has been murdered in the night. Petunias flattened. Clematis trampled. Lawn gnomes decapitated. 

Enter Sheriff Hubert Hornbuckle—a man more familiar with pie-eating contests than crime scenes—and a curious stranger who seems to know a little too much. As the town buzzes with gossip, secrets bloom like weeds, and Beulah finds herself wondering: who could betray her in such a vicious, vine-ripping way? 

Part mystery, part madcap comedy, My Prized Garden of Beaverton Proper is a delightfully absurd romp about small-town drama, overgrown egos, and the healing power of community… and maybe a little Miracle-Gro. With a bouquet of unforgettable characters and a plot that twists like a garden hose, this play will leave you laughing, guessing, and maybe rethinking that feud with your neighbor.
