Theatre Horizon to Close Season with FULLY COMMITTED, 5/12-6/5

Theatre Horizon closes its 11th Season with Becky Mode's hilarious Fully Committed. This wacky one-man show takes center stage May 12-June 5. Opening night is Thursday, May 19 at 7:30 p.m. This show marks the return to Theatre Horizon of Michael Doherty, who was in last season's highly celebrated production of Into the Woods. Tickets cost $22-$49. Discount ticket rates are available for Seniors, 30 & Under, and Students. More information is available on www.theatrehorizon.org.

Sam feels like the only sane person in the room. He is a regular guy working at New York's hottest restaurant. In Fully Committed, audiences watch him contend with a circus of co-workers and millionaires who all want one thing from him - a place at the table. Michael Doherty is tackling 40 roles in this non-stop comedic ride that spoofs the hip restaurant scene.

Said Doherty, "I'm looking forward to the unique challenge a show like this provides. Shows can challenge actors in different ways -- some can be extremely physical, some force you to go to dark and upsetting places. This particular show requires a great deal of concentration and character articulation on my part. It means making these 40 characters distinct and completely human and then gear shifting between them cleanly and effortlessly. It requires lot more homework on my part, followed by complete confidence in all of my choices. I'm very excited to tackle it and I cannot wait to share it with Theatre Horizon audiences."

Kathryn MacMillan directs. She returns to Theatre Horizon after directing the Barrymore-winning I Am My Own Wife, which opened the 13-14 season. Brian Dudkiewicz is designing the set, creating the cramped basement where Sam works. Shon Causer is the Lighting Designer. Janus Stefanowicz is the Costume Designer. Toby Pettit is the Sound Designer and Dale Nadel is the Props Master.

Norristown Garden Club will be a part of every performance of Fully Committed. At each performance there will be four-eight flower arrangement entries from members of the Garden Club. Audiences will get to enjoy the arrangements, but also vote on their favorites. Winners will be announced via Theatre Horizon's Social Media channels and the exhibit will change every week.

The Honorary Executive Producers of the show are Tom and Carol Beam. James Fairburn is the Honorary Producer.
