Abeba in the Tall Grass tells the heartwarming and funny story of Abeba, a fifth-grade aspiring horticulturist, and the urban garden that has become her sacred space. Through encounters with the school goof-offs, she realizes that, like plants need water and light to flourish, people need friendship and community to thrive. This new work was commissioned by La Jolla Playhouse as the 2024 POP Tour play for young audiences.
