"Risqué
and downright irresistable..." Smart, hilarious, risqué, and full of heart Avenue Q is Broadway's smash-hit and Horizon's 7-time Suzi Award winner, including Outstanding Production of a Musical. The neighbors are nice on Avenue Q, the only address you can afford when you're fresh out of college, out of a job, or just trying to find your way in life. Princeton, Gary Coleman (yes, that one!), Christmas Eve, and their newfound friends (played by talented actors and puppets) valiantly seek jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life. AN UPBEAT FOR MUSICAL GROWN-UPS. (pictured: Nick Arapoglou in AVENUE Q, 2011) *Contains mature language and situations; not intended for children.
"[Lee and Larson are] witty and perceptive..." —Creative Loafing From births to marriages to Big Foot sightings, police chases and lottery wins, anything can happen at 3 AM in the Waffle Palace. Inspired by amazing real life events at Waffle House restaurants, Larson and Lee (award winning playwrights of Horizon's Charm School) let loose with this roller coaster of humor, music, and imagination in which John Picket and his multi-racial staff battle to keep their Midtown diner open against heavy odds. The Waffle Palace: a place where everyone is welcome, and the only unforgivable sins are throwing waffles and under-tipping. (pictured: Chris Ekholm & Lala Cochran in THE PHILADELPHIA, 1995)
"[A Cool Drink a Water is] a rather unexpected breath of fresh air..." —Atlanta Journal Constitution This raucous comedy set in an Atlanta backyard picks up where we left off in Horizon's 2009 hit A Cool Drink A Water. Empty nesters Walt and Ruthie are throwing a homecoming party for son Trane, a rising hip hop star about to embark on his first American tour. But Walt and his buddies aren't just celebrating - they're hatching a plan to ride Trane's wave of success and recapture their own musical dreams. Then Trane drops in with a Korean pop surprise of his own! Bebop and hip hop "take it to the woodshed," as the jazzmen say, to sharpen their music, friendship, and futures. A comic reuniting of generations and those who hunger to still have a place. (pictured: Donna Biscoe & Thomas W. Jones II in A COOL DRINK A WATER, 2007)
"...a thoughtful, absorbing work." —Variety Widely hailed as one of the best new plays on Broadway, Time Stands Still is the story of Sarah and James, a photojournalist and foreign correspondent who have been together for years and share a passion for documenting the realities of war. When circumstances compel them to return to New York, will their relationship of nearly a decade be more threatened by conventional domesticity than the roadside bombs of Baghdad? Don't miss the Southeastern premiere of this new American play about finding happiness in a world that seems to have gone crazy. Featuring Carolyn Cook and Chris Kayser.
