The Off-Broadway smash hit THE CITY OF CONVERSATION, a rousing story of a political family over three decades of change by Anthony Giardina, makes its Atlanta premiere at Horizon Theatre Company with an all-star Atlanta cast, opening on May 20th. BroadwayWorld has a sneak peek at the cast in character below!

Washington DC was once a place where people actually talked to each other... savvy maven Hester Ferris opens her home for political foes to lay down arms and raise a glass. But that is all about the change. Colin, her beloved son, brings home a Reaganite girlfriend and a shocking new conservative world view rocking Hester's world. Follow the Ferris family from the end of the Carter presidency through the Reagan era and into Obama's game-changing inauguration. Featuring headliners Tess Kincaid, Chris Kayser and Carolyn Cook, Horizon's THE CITY OF CONVERSATION runs through June 26, 2016.

"Timely, funny and uncannily relevant, THE CITY OF CONVERSATION seems ripped-from-the-headlines and is the perfect pairing with this volatile presidential campaign year," says Horizon Co-Artistic Director Lisa Adler. "It's hard today to imagine a time when conservatives and liberals came together to work things out after hours over dinner, drinks, cigars and jokes. When, how and why did it change? What has the cost been? By looking at one extraordinary family over three decades, Giardina is able to dig deep into where we are today as a country. It's the kind of terrific, literate play that actors sink their teeth into with gusto, and audiences leaving arguing about, ready to continue the conversation over drinks and coffee long into the night."

Performances are Wed., Thurs. and Fri. at 8 PM, Sat. at 3 PM and 8:30 PM, and Sun. at 5 PM at Horizon Theatre in Little Five Points/Inman Park (1083 Austin Avenue NE Atlanta, GA 30307). Tickets, starting at $25, and information are available at www.horizontheatre.com or 404.584.7450.
