How to Use A Knife – Ends Soon
How to Use A Knife – Ends Soon In the chaotic hustle and bustle of a Wall Street restaurant, Chef George gets a fresh start when he takes over this melting-pot-of-a-kitchen. Two rowdy Guatemalan line cooks, a wet-behind-the-ears busboy, and a reserved African dishwasher serve up drama nightly.

This is one of Horizon Theatre’s best plays and I say that because it was thought provoking while still being pretty funny. Now there was some spicy language that may make some cringe, but sometimes some words get the point across a lot better than others:) Like…

I wanted to mention to you just in case you are thinking of stepping out to a different part of Atlanta, this is one place that should not be overlooked. Inman Park is smack dab in what I would call the artisty district. Many opportunities to sitesee with all of the unique homes and businesses…

Seeing how all of the departments from music, set design, lighting, etc comes together to make something so spectacular once it is done.

Freed Spirits Horizon Theatre in Atlanta
Hello All. I am back and hopefully to stay:) I have had a month and it has been crazy. Stop by and I will tell you about it sometime soon. When I visit a city that I have never been to before or just want to know more about I usually go on some type of tour, but the one type of tour I do not go on is a ghost tour. Hecks no. No way in double hockey sticks, but there just might be one ghost tour that I might have to take part in. What will make me change my mind you ask? Well…. Horizon Theatre is back…
