by Melissa Hall - Feb 13, 2026

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

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.
