Horizon's END DAYS Runs 5/29 - 6/28

End Days by Deborah Zoe Laufer will be performed at the Horizon Theatre from May 29 - June 28, 2009.

Meet the Steins. Sixteen-year old Rachel is a Goth. Dad won’t change out of his pajamas. Her Jewish mother is suddenly born again – and Jesus has moved into the kitchen. Their new neighbor, a teenager with an Elvis fixation studying for his bar mitzvah, has fallen for Rachel hard. And the Apocalypse is coming on Wednesday. Their only hope is that Stephen Hawking will save them all. A quirky, moving comedy about family, faith, and science for the 21st century.

Now in our 25th season, Horizon Theatre Company has been bringing exciting area and world premieres of contemporary plays to Atlanta's audiences under the leadership of Co-Artistic Directors and Founders Lisa and Jeff Adler since 1983. 

A professional theatre with a reputation for excellent ensemble acting, Horizon produces outstanding new plays by today's playwrights that reflect and challenge the lives of the diverse people living in the urban Southeast.  Horizon has introduced Atlanta audiences to the works of such well-known contemporary playwrights as Rebecca Gilman, Wendy Wasserstein, David Hare, Terrence McNally, and David Ives, as well as plays by talented emerging writers. 

In addition to producing its five-play mainstage season, Horizon also develops new plays through workshops, readings, and through our annual New South Play Festival, dedicated to plays from, for, and/or about the South.  Horizon develops new audiences and artists through the Horizon Playwriting Education programs, and Senior Citizen Ensemble programs.  Horizon's home is an intimate 175-seat theatre located in Atlanta's eclectic Little Five Points business and arts district.
