A new day is on the horizon at Theatre Horizon, a professional theatre company located 20 miles outside of Center City Philadelphia in Norristown, Pennsylvania. The company's 2018-19 season features more programming, more variety, and more choices for patrons of the award-winning company, including regional premieres and exciting events that highlight some of the best area talent. This season boasts a brand new model for Theatre Horizon, one in which four smaller, limited engagement events will be presented alongside two more traditional productions with longer runs. Combined, these six offerings will provide audiences programming all season long, and an opportunity to discover something new in Norristown.

Four badass women--an assassin, a spy, a writer, and Marie Antoinette--hang out, plot murder, and try to beat back extremist insanity in Paris. In Lauren Gunderson's The Revolutionists, these women act in the face of injustice, give their lives to protect freedom and equality, and stand up for what they believe in...all while being hilarious in the face of challenging, fractured political times. Armed with sharp wit and even sharper knives, this comedy of libert , galit , and sororit considers how we actually go about changing the world.
