The Light at Horizon Theatre Company

Recipient of the Joseph Jefferson Award for Best New Play, Loy Webbs debut work, The Light, hits the Horizon stage from March 19th-April 17th (Press Opening March 25th). Horizons regional premiere of The Light is an intimate, funny, and powerful look at love today in all its complexity, featuring two of Atlantas most dynamic actors, Enoch King and Cynthia D. Barker.A surprise marriage proposal takes an unexpected turn that upends the world of Genesis and Rashad, forcing them to confront secrets from the past. The Light is a roller coaster journey of laughter, romance and reckoning that unfolds in real time, peeling away layers of truth, doubt, pain and ultimately, the power of love.Inspired by the sexual assault allegations surrounding Nate Parker during Birth of a Nation, The Light sparks a necessary conversation not only between the couple in the play but among its audience members about sexual violence and the treatment of women in male-dominated spaces. It is a play about the intricacies of truth, and how to take a leap of faith when you dont know who or what to believe.
