About Black Women Speak
Launched in 2021, Horizon’s groundbreaking Black Women Speak (BWS) initiative was created to amplify the voices and stories of Black women and bring more of their work to the American stage. Led by Horizon Associate Artistic Producer Marguerite Hannah, the project began with a national search that brought together nine accomplished and emerging Black women playwrights with connections to the South. The writers drew inspiration from more than 100 Black women from Atlanta who shared their experiences, perspectives, humor, hopes, and challenges in a series of intimate community conversations called “Coffee Chats.”
From those conversations came the seeds of original plays—stories as varied, complex, funny, and surprising as the women who inspired them. Developed through Horizon’s Black Women Speak program, these works reflect the distinctive imaginations of their playwrights while exploring experiences and relationships that resonate across communities.
Now, four of these plays take the spotlight in a festival celebrating the creativity and range of Black women storytellers. Audiences will experience each play performed by professional actors, then join in post-reading discussions that offer an inside look at the writing process and a chance to share their responses with the artists.
Come discover a new favorite playwright, hear a story you haven’t heard before, and be part of the journey from page to stage. These are new plays in the making—and you get to be the first to experience them and to share your feedback with the playwrights who created them.

From acclaimed playwright Martin McDonagh comes The Beauty Queen of Leenane, a darkly comic and deeply unsettling exploration of family, loneliness, manipulation, and the desperate desire for escape.
Set in a remote village in the mountains of western Ireland, the play centers on Maureen Folan, a lonely, unmarried woman in her forties who lives with her aging, demanding mother, Mag. Trapped in a suffocating relationship fueled by resentment, emotional cruelty, and mutual dependence, Maureen dreams of a life beyond the walls of their isolated cottage. When a chance encounter with a former acquaintance offers the possibility of romance and freedom, the fragile balance between mother and daughter begins to unravel—with devastating consequences.
Winner of four Tony Awards, The Beauty Queen of Leenane masterfully blends biting Irish humor with psychological suspense, building from seemingly ordinary domestic squabbles to a shocking and unforgettable climax.
Wickedly funny, fiercely provocative, and emotionally explosive, this gripping theatrical experience explores the darkest corners of family relationships and the terrible price of dreams denied.
6 performances – November 13, 14, and 20, 21 at 8pm. November 15 and 22 at 2pm.

The Black-and-White Widow
Written and Performed by Laura King
Directed by Holly Stevenson
November 12 - 15, 2026
There’s no script for what comes next.
At her husband’s memorial service, one woman finds herself with a new role to play: widow.
The trouble is, no one gave her the script.
Looking for direction, she turns to the great widows of black-and-white cinema—women who seemed to know exactly how to mourn, how to carry on and, most importantly, how a widow was supposed to behave. As she tries their roles on for size, memory and movie fantasy collide with the complicated realities of a thirty-year marriage.
Funny, sharp and deeply personal, The Black-and-White Widow plays with the distance between the stories we inherit and the lives we actually live—and what happens when an unfamiliar role calls for a rewrite.

tick, tick... BOOM! is a musical by Jonathan Larson. It tells the story of an aspiring composer named Jon, who lives in New York City in 1990. Jon is worried he has made the wrong career choice to be part of the performing arts. The story is semi-autobiographical, as stated by Larson's father in the liner notes of the cast recording – Larson had been trying to establish himself in theater since the early 1980s.
Larson began to perform the piece as a solo work in 1990. After his death in 1996, it was revised and revamped by playwright David Auburn as a three-actor piece and was premiered off-Broadway in 2001.[1] Since then, the show has had an Off West End production, a West End production, an American national tour, two Off-Broadway revivals, in 2014 and 2016, and numerous local and international productions.
A film adaptation, directed by Lin-Manuel Miranda and starring Andrew Garfield in the lead role, was released by Netflix in November 2021. It was generally well received by critics, and Garfield received a nomination for the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance.

The Doctrine
Film Screening
November 27, 2026 – Plaza Theatre – 7pm
A film by Gwendolen Cates – Original soundtrack by Pura Fé
“The Doctrine of Discovery” is the term for 15th-century decrees issued by the Vatican that authorized conquest and colonization, codified racism and slavery, became international law, and were enshrined in U.S. law in 1823.
This film follows a group of Indigenous teenagers from Minneapolis/St. Paul who travel to Rome to meet with Vatican officials and advocate for the repudiation of the Doctrine.
Also featured are Indigenous activists in Aotearoa New Zealand, Guatemala, New Caledonia, and Puerto Rico. The film exposes how the Doctrine of Discovery has targeted communities of color, was the origin of the transatlantic slave trade, and enables corporate forces driving the climate crisis.

Othello
The Moor of Venice
In a world of jealousy, betrayal, and manipulation, this gripping story follows the noble and unquestionably faithful Othello, whose love for Desdemona becomes tainted by the malevolent schemes of the envious and manipulative Iago. As lies come untied and suspicion corrupts, Othello's once steadfast confidence breaks, leading to a devastating spiral of tragic consequences.
Mel Konner’s
Sixteen Springs or Four Loves
(Staged Reading)
November 14
A Play About the Missing Years of The Winter’s Tale by local Atlanta Playwright Mel Konner
A babe is reluctantly abandoned in a forest by Antigonus, who is attacked by a bear but survives. The babe, named Trouvita, and the injured nobleman are rescued by a shepherd family. She grows up (very smart and strong) as he slowly heals. Meanwhile, back in Sicilia, a slandered queen (very smart and strong) and her mad king diverge to very different ends. Sad moments ensue, but—spoiler alert—all’s well in the end as love triumphs, thanks to smart, strong women.
This is a staged reading on our Main Stage. The full production will be on our Main Stage in Spring 2027.

ASC New Works Event
Dead Girls No Mothers
by Tommy Sullivan-Lovett
Nov 18–Nov 22
A Near-Speare New Works Production Dead Girls No Mothers by Tommy Sullivan-Lovett: Four of Shakespeare’s heroines - Cordelia, Desdemona, Lavinia, and Ophelia - speak from beyond death to reclaim the voices they were denied in life. Confronting the violence, silencing, and objectification imposed on them by patriarchal systems, they expose how their suffering was used to serve men’s stories rather than their own. Through their reflections, the play challenges the idea of Shakespeare’s women as passive victims and insists on their agency, anger, and humanity beyond the roles that destroyed them.
Returning from ASC's March 2026 Thy Name Is Woman feminist New Play Festival, Dead Girls No Mothers is a full-length, one-act production that highlights the experience of four of Shakespeare's famous tragic heroines. Part monologue cycle, part group revelation, this play will challenge, heal, and invite audiences to engage with a new perspective of the stories they love.
Community Talkback with the cast and director following each performance.
Alice Arden has a problem. She’s fallen hard for a handsome fellow with a promising future. But he’s not her husband. What’s an early modern woman to do? When “Love is a god, and marriage is but words,” there’s only one answer—hire some hit men, of course! Resurgens concludes “Shakespeare’s Apocrypha Now” with the earliest “true crime” drama composed for the English stage, Arden of Faversham. Directed by Dr. Brent Griffin, our historically informed production offers a rare opportunity not only to experience this pioneering work of domestic tragedy, but also to hear Shakespeare’s beginnings as a collaborative playwright and theatre practitioner.
Show dates are November 19-21 at 8:00 p.m., and November 22 at 2:00 p.m.
All performances will be at our new venue, the historic Pythagoras Masonic Temple (108 E. Ponce de Leon Ave.) in Decatur.
The city of Avondale Estates, through Sage PR, is working with Georgia Classic Theatre to produce free family-friendly performances for the public. The initiative is called Shakespeare at Sunset, and it is supported by Commissioner Ted Terry of Super District 6 of DeKalb County.
Allen O’Reilly will direct early-career performers, many who are recent graduates of Oglethorpe University’s theatre program. Bring a chair or blanket and watch some Shakespeare outdoors!
The performance is an abridged, family-friendly event that will last approximately an hour.
These events will be held outdoors in Avondale Estates at 6pm on the Town Greene.
PERFORMANCES:
November 14 – The Merchant of Venice – 6pm
December 5 – A Christmas Carol – 6pm

“This Christmas you will be visited by three spirits…again”. A Christmas Carol returns to the playhouse. The plot is centered on Ebenezer Scrooge, a penny-pinching miser in the first degree. He cares nothing for the people around him and mankind exists only for the money that can be made through exploitation and intimidation. He particularly detests Christmas which he views as ‘a time for finding yourself a year older, and not an hour richer’. Scrooge is visited on Christmas Eve, by the ghost of his former partner Jacob Marley who died seven Christmas Eves ago. He tells Scrooge that he will be haunted by three spirits, the ghosts of Christmas past, present, and future, who must succeed in showing Scrooge the error of his ways. This classic tale is filled with music, dance and characters that will warm your heart, cheer your spirits and remind us that it is never too late for redemption and combines superb special effects for an evening of entertainment unlike any experienced before.

Rumors
By Neil Simon
At a large, tastefully-appointed Sneden’s Landing townhouse, the Deputy Mayor of New York has just shot himself. Though it’s only a flesh wound, Charlie Brock’s self-inflicted injury sets off a series of events causing four couples to experience a severe attack of farce.
As their tenth wedding anniversary party commences, Charlie lies bleeding in another room, and his wife Myra is nowhere in sight. The first guests, lawyer Ken Gorman and his wife Chris, scramble to get “the story” straight before the other guests arrive. As the confusions and miscommunications mount, the evening spins off into classic farcical hilarity.

JOB
By Max Wolf Friedlich
Directed By Lory Cox
November 5 – November 22, 2026
Job is described as a two‑person psychological thriller that examines what it means to be a citizen of the internet, the ethics of content moderation, and the limits of human endurance when exposed to the world’s worst material. The play follows Jane, a young content moderator for a major tech company, who is placed on forced leave after a public mental breakdown triggered by a traumatic encounter with an old friend. The breakdown follows a viral video incident that has made her a media spectacle. Jane arrives at the office of Loyd, a crisis therapist, not just to seek help but to be cleared for her return to work — a job that, she believes, gives her life meaning. The play mixes tension, dark humor, and raw emotion, where the power dynamics shift unpredictably throughout.

In this delightful companion play to Miss Bennet, authors Gunderson and Melcon once again bring Jane Austen’s beloved characters to the stage for a yuletide sequel to Pride and Prejudice. While Miss Bennet depicted the newly wed Darcys’ Christmas gathering on the ground floor of Pemberley, The Wickhams takes audiences to the downstairs servants’ quarters for that same celebration. Mrs. Reynolds, a no-nonsense housekeeper; Cassie, an eager new maid; and Brian, a lovesick footman, are bustling with preparations for holiday guests. But their work is interrupted by the midnight arrival of the definitely not invited Mr. Wickham – Lydia’s rogue of a husband and Mr. Darcy’s sworn enemy. The Wickhams is a charming holiday tale that explores the confines of class and the generosity of forgiveness.
Join us for a poignant comedy that explores faith and faults in the Texas heat. In the little town of Waylon, Martha, a devout believer, wages a losing daily battle against dry heat, rose aphids, and the blistering cynicism of her ne’er-do-well grandson, Bobby, Jr. – currently failing as a used appliance salesman. When a rusty stain on one of Bobby’s used refrigerators develops an uncanny likeness to the face of Jesus, Bobby sees his chance to parlay this “miracle” into a real payday – A comedy of faith – lost, found, and very confused.
The BEST Christmas Pageant Ever
November 13 – 15
When a last-minute crisis forces the seemingly mild-mannered Grace Bradley to take over the local church’s annual Christmas pageant, she is unprepared for the chaos that ensues. The infamous Herdman children—a rough-and-tumble gang known for their terrible behavior—show up to claim every major role, entirely unprepared for the Biblical story.
They have never even heard of the Christmas story! This heartwarming and hilarious comedy explores the true meaning of Christmas through the eyes of the Herdmans, whose unconventional interpretations and unexpected sincerity force the entire community to look beyond tradition and discover the spirit of the season in the most unlikely of places. It’s truly the best kind of holiday mayhem!
The classic tale of Kris Kringle, a fat, white-bearded gentleman claiming to be the real Santa Claus. During the Macy's Thanksgiving Parade, the man hired to play Santa Clause shows up drunk. Thus, Kris is hired as a last-minute replacement. He is so good at his job that the children all believe him to be the real Santa Clause. Further, he helps spread a wave of love throughout New York City, fostering camaraderie between Macy's and Gimbel's Department Stores, giving happiness to a 6-year-old girl and bringing love to a divorced, cynical single mother.

2026 Dinner and a Diva Season
November 17 – Puccini’s La Bohéme
Join Capitol City Opera Company on November 17 at 7:00 pm at Petite Violette for a night of delicious food and performances from Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème.
Make a reservation at Petite Violette Restaurant by going to www.petitevioletterestaurant.com
“Puccini’s La Bohème captures the joy, heartbreak, and fleeting beautiy of young love in bohemian Paris. As poet Rodolfo and seamstress Mimì fall for each other, their romance is tested by poverty and illness. With soaring arias and poignant emotion, La Bohème remains one of opera’s most beloved masterpieces.”
A thriller about a playwright who would kill for a hit
Sidney Bruhl has not written a success in years. When a manuscript arrives from a former student — a thriller good enough to run for seasons — he starts turning over an idea he cannot quite put down. What follows is two acts of traps, double-crosses and reversals, each one funnier and nastier than the last.
Levin's comedy-thriller holds the record for the longest-running of its kind on Broadway, and it earns it. Come for the laughs, stay for the moment the audience gasps as one.

It is written by Earnest Lewis, the Atlanta playwright who wrote, The Boy Who Brought His Mind To Life. He is also a celebrated author of many children’s books, too. It includes themes of elder care, adoption, loneliness and of course, the importance of family. It takes place around the Christmas holidays, so it is a wonderful story for the entire family.
