Review: I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME is captivating and resonant at Horizon Theatre Company
by Joseph Harrison - Mar 30, 2025

Some stories are so emotional, so raw, and so real that it can be hard to tell it more than once. So, when someone draws up enough courage and strength to share these sometimes-difficult glimpses into their life – to quote a great American playwright Arthur Miller “Attention must be paid.” Such is the case with the Southeastern premiere of Jennifer Blackmer’s beautifully constructed and emotionally delivered play, I CARRY YOUR HEART WITH ME which is playing now through April 5th at Horizon Theatre Company in Atlanta. This powerful and captivating solo play, starring veteran Atlanta actor Carolyn Cook, takes the audience on a journey into a challenging and difficult time in American history through the eyes (and memories) of a woman who has an encounter during a formative year in her life that changes everything for her.
