In the Blood Season Kicks Off Tonight!

Posted By: Unknown - 10:02 AM

Spring is finally here and events are beginning to fill up the community calendar. TNP is polishing our cleaning equipment and gearing up for our annual Earth Day cleanup at Riverfront Park. Spring is not only a season for community cleanups in Norristown. Theatre Horizon will kick off their performance of In the Blood today.

Tonight's performance is a "pay what you can" opportunity with a suggested donation of $10. I encourage all of Norristown to flood all of their performances and help our arts district to continue to grow. Watch the trailer here:



Here's more information about the performance and the message behind In the Blood from Theatre Horizon's Facebook Page:

“An EXTRAORDINARY new play…EXHILARATING & HARROWING.”
—The New York Times

In this urban satire inspired by THE SCARLET LETTER, Hester is a homeless mother of five striving to escape the hand of fate. Will she be able to free her children from poverty, or is tragedy woven into her destiny and written in her blood?

IMAGINE NO HOMELESSNESS

Made possible by: The Patricia Kind Family Foundation & The Virginia Brown Martin Fund of the Philadelphia Foundation

Actors, college students, and housing-insecure partners will join together to share stories of homelessness in the Philadelphia region. Students will retell these stories through evocative art installations in the Theatre Horizon lobby throughout our production of IN THE BLOOD. Audiences will come together with our actors and community partners to imagine changing the story of homelessness in Montgomery County.

We hope you will join us. Please visit TheatreHorizon.org for more information.
