In the Blood Season Kicks Off Tonight!

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

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.
