Horse Head Theatre Company is getting set in this hefty Houston heat to open an uplifting and inspiring new production this August. CHURCH, an original production by playwright Young Jean Lee, is expected to be an engaging way to invoke conversations and experiences of spirituality and identity in a theatrical context, rather than at your typical Sunday morning church service.

Horse Head Theatre Co.'s (HH) Houston Premiere of CHURCH by Young Jean Lee & original immersive pre-show experience will be presented at The Heritage Society's historical 1891 St. John Church located in Sam Houston Park (Allen Parkway & Bagby) from August 4 - 20, 2017. The immersive experience begins at 7:30pm, CHURCH begins at 8pm.
