"A smart, crisp comedy about the behind the scenes in a political campaign"
- Pittsburgh Post-Gazzette

Agendas collide on the presidential campaign trail when the front-running candidate's chief fundraiser battles with the party's Christian activist.  Roger is on a missionary crusade to restore the country's religious values through his candidate.  But, Neil wants that same candidate to win at any cost.  Behind closed doors, the struggle between religion and politics heats up in this sharp-edged, satirical comedy.

“A compelling evening of theatre”
– Minnesota Public Radio

In the hunt for a human interest story that will break the silence on the crisis in Darfur, a New York Times reporter’s life becomes intertwined with an aid worker’s mission to save lives and a Darfuri woman’s quest for safety at a refugee camp. Their own lives are put at risk trying to escape and bring this searing story of urgency and international significance to light to the world.

“One of the finest and funniest new plays”
– The New York Times

A sparkling comedy-drama about fighting the dirt in your life, finding true love at any age, and the importance of a good joke. Matilde, a Brazilian housekeeper, hates to clean and instead spends her days trying to dream up the perfect joke. As her employer Lane’s perfectly rational life and marriage collapses around her, the world begins to look like a mysterious and magical place. A life-affirming story that explores the humor and sadness of one household and reminds us that we may never fully understand the jokes life plays, but the wisest response is to have a good laugh anyway

July 11 – August 24, 2008

A World Premiere developed as part of Horizon’s New South Festival.

A feisty matriarch and her family face off with each other and their changing neighborhood in this multi-generational comedy-drama. Elderly Josephine just wants some peace and quiet to live out her days and sip sweet tea. But the neighborhood is abuzz with renovators and speculators, and the house itself starts to burst at the seams when her adult children descend to fuss and fight over mama. When their street is threatened by a large new development, Josephine and family must rally or risk losing their beloved house and neighborhood.

Sept. 12 – Nov. 16, 2008

“High-octane entertainment”
- Talkin’ Broadway

N’Sync could learn some moves from this heavenly boy band, apostles of pop who praise the Lord with funk and rhyme. This long-running, critically-acclaimed musical comedy is the hilarious story of a small-town Christian boy-band (with one nice Jewish boy). Matthew, Mark, Luke, Juan and Abraham are nearing the end of their “Raise the Praise” tour of church halls and picnics. Now they have their chance to break into the big time, bringing their soul-saving tour to Atlanta. Armed with sharp wit, sinfully spectacular dance moves and angelic harmonies, the Altar Boyz aim to rock the masses of all denominations. A hilarious, holy hit for the whole family!
