THIRD COUNTRY Sneak Peek

Third Country by Suehyla El-Attar September 20 - October 20, 2013 Directed by Lisa Adler Nura, a refugee, clings to her soccer ball like a lifeline as she meets Sasha, a resettlement worker who is her guide to a strange new home in a small Southern town. But the welcome is mixed in this community reeling from a flood of newcomers—all refugees from around the world. A community meeting divides the town, and a soccer field becomes the battleground for its future.Will longtime residents and these eager new Americans learn to work together to find peace? Inspired by real life events in nearby Clarkston, Georgia, playwright Suehyla El-Attar (Horizon's The Perfect Prayer) uses her signature wit and optimism to look at a community in transition, and what happens when we must redefine and share our homes. A poignant new play from our own changing backyard. Tickets start are $20-$30. Call 404.584.7450 or visit www.horizontheatre.com.
