What happens when community members of a diverse town tell a story as one?
TOWN is Theatre Horizon’s largest-scale production in our nearly 20-year history. Helmed by director Nell Bang-Jensen and playwright Michael John Garcés this new play celebrates and interrogates small town American life. Featuring music by Philly-based artist collective ILL DOOTS and featuring an ensemble of community members and professional theatre artists, TOWN will focus on Death & Eternity, Love & Marriage, and Daily Life all inspired by stories from over 130 Norristown residents.
