The Last Garden is the story of the last florist tending the last garden on Earth which just so happens to be a shitty-potted plant in a basement somewhere. He talks to the last garden (because talking to plants is supposed to help them grow) but there are many interruptions that take the form of his dreams and memories: two flaming princes on the day of their wedding, Mermen moving in together, a Funeral Singer, and more! This dreamscape is at the intersection of dance-theatre and musical theatre, which is enlivened by a full queer team!

With vocal recordings from Elliot Lazar.
