The Horizon is a small venue putting out impressive work. There isnt a bad seat in the house, although getting to a few can be a bit precarious. Take the advice of get there early to heart. Theres a concession stand offering beverages (including a few for adults) and baked goods full help you pass the time.

Best local community theatre by far in Atlanta. Have enjoyed every show I’ve seen here over the years. Waffle Palace Christmas a must see! Lots of local talent here worth supporting!

Review №6

The show I saw was absolutely amazing! I would definitely go here to see another one. Just note that there is limited parking, the house of the theater is relatively small, and the facilities are a bit older. Great shows, up close views, and community geared.

This is my favorite theater in the Atlanta area. Small, intimate and no bad seat in the house. Theyre not afraid to take on serious subjects (from same sex marriage to Autism) in the best way and the talent involved is beyond incredible!

Just left their production of Once. It was mind-blowing. Atlantans dont know what they have in their own local Theatre. The synergy of the cast was palpable. The music swooned, I had chills literally every song. They tell a story that engulfs you. Do not miss this show.

Amazing show, set, and lighting design! Seats are cramped and a little warm inside, but a great venue. They also serve some of the largest cookies youve ever seen. Almost the size of a dinner plate and delicious. Support the arts and check out the great things happening here!

Well, the play was good, but too long. It was a week day and I was tired after working all day. To sit that long was hard for me. I will return, but only on the weekends. More food choices are needed at the concessions.

The Horizon theater is amazing. No bad seats, small, intimate. The best actors in Atlanta. The current play, Sweetwater Taste, is excellent. Everything we have seen there has been excellent. Support local theater!

Well...we flew in from California and decided to attend this play! Sweet Water Taste at the Horizon Theater did not disappoint. I am telling hotel staff, conference attendees and Lyft drivers that you live here and need to see this play. It addresses tough issues with humor and was wonderfully presented! Thank you for a very enjoyable evening!

I had the pleasure of attending the opening performance of Pipeline at Horizon Theater while visiting in Atlanta. The cast was collectively amazing and delivered an emotional thought provoking performance! Definitely a must see show! I love the intimacy of this theater and will definitely return!Shondra Raye, Detroit, MI

Review №23

Went to see Pipeline. Excellent! Well written and thought provoking. Its amazing the perspective you have when can feel the the live emotions from the actors. Stress, joy, love, anger and more. This beats the movies any day. Youll be seeing me more often. Only suggestion I have is to level out the parking (bumpy).

Review №26

This was amazing! The facility is small, but the performance the actors and sound/lighting technicians managed to pull off was phenomenal and highly immersive. I didnt take any pictures as it felt intrusive during the performance and I was too focused on getting to chat with the actors afterwards.

I brought my nieces here to see Madeline’s Christmas. It is a quaint venue with nice staff. Be mindful of their parking lot though! We thought it would be fun to dress up for a little girls outing but it had been raining that day and the parking lot was one big mud puddle! Not a negative, just something to think about when getting dressed for your visit.

What a treat to have so many good plays at this community theater. The actors in the play, The Cake, performed as well as any actors Ive seen on Broadway or other prominent theaters. The moral dilemma, which is the central plot, was totally believable.

One of the best theater companies in Atlanta. Great performances in a cozy environment where all seats are great. Parking is great with plenty of spots and close to the building with an easy access handicapped door. Can’t say enough about this Theater.

Review №54

Waffle Palace Christmas was way too long and needs a serious rewrite! Many a great line lost in a story that was made more confusing by the devil. I would cut his part way down and a few others all together. It could be a fealty funny Atlanta story with a good edit.

Review №55

Chairs are tiny and crammed in too close together. Its like sitting in a cramped sauna for 2 hours! Other than that, you have a good view of the stage from any location. Most plays are pretty good - except for The Waffle Palace!

Its not just a theatre. Its a place for local organizations and entrepenuers to meet. I lived in the outskirts of ATL my whole life and always find myself visiting this theatre for something going on. Great place to find out whats going on in the community too. Its even used by film production companies sometimes for it old vintage style building structure.

Review №59

Was visiting from out of state and looking for something local to do. Purchased tickets for Freaky Friday. Horizon Theatre building is not much at all from the outside, quite worn down, and houses a variety of other businesses inside. But dont let that stop you from seeing this absolute gem.I was absolutely floored by the high quality of the acting, singing, and dancing by the large number of performers (who demonstrated amazing endurance and swiftness for wardrobe adjustments). Great live music and sets / set changes. And the opportunity to chat with the truly gracious performers after the show really made the night a triumph.Highly recommended! Support local arts - visual and performing arts!PS - Snacks and drinks are available for sale before and at intermission of performances.

Small theatre doing new and smaller plays often written by little know playwrights. They also do a new play program. Use local and regional talent. Been around for over 30 years in Atlanta. Excellent resource for the city. Only complaint - time for new seats.

Attended two prformamce so far this year this year and both were excellent. Thoroughly enjoyed my experience. The actors in both plays were extremely talented. The venue is small and intimate. Every seat has a perfect view of the stage and feels up close and personal with the actors and performance. Has quickly become one of my favorite cultural event spots in Atlanta.

Review №77

Love this little theatre. Just went to the 4th play that I have seen here, The City of Conversation and thought that I should give it a review. I loved it!!! The New York Times said it best--Smart, literate, and funny. This theatre is able to draw professional actors and actresses that are every bit as good as Broadway. This little theatre has easy parking, friendly staff, and wonderful talent. They also pick plays that are entertaining and relevant. One of the great entertainment bargains.

Great little venue. No need to worry about where to sit because every seat is a good seat. Concessions are pretty limited as far as snacks go but they do offer wine and other drinks.

It was a small about 250 people searing theater. It was wonderful. Everyone can see a performance well. They had their own band for musical theater. I loved it.

Review №81

For me Horizons is local theater done right. The stage is maybe about the size of an average bedroom but thats irrelevant because the shows that this company premiers are so damn immersive youll forget about the size. In my honest opinion Ive seen more impressive shows right here at Horizons than the shows Ive seen on Main stage Alliance. Given the limited resources Horizons delivers PREMIUM theater at a fraction of the cost without compromising on set design, acting or storytelling. Horizons single handedly entertains better than ANY other theater company Ive ever had the pleasure of attending. Hear me when I say that this review is not a dig at any of the other theater companies, its just the plain truth. This place is truly an ATL and lil 5 gem.
