Theatre Horizon is a theater group located in Norristown, Pennsylvania.
The group performs plays, musicals, open-air, and "community-centered theater." According to an interview with artistic director Nell Bang-Jensen in 2023, Theatre Horizon seeks “to engage community members, specifically community members who haven't felt a sense of belonging at the theater.”[1]
Erin Reilly and Matthew Decker founded the theater in 2005 as a summer theater with open air performances. In 2019, Bang-Jensen succeeded Reilly as artistic director.[2] She is Senior Lecturer at the Ira Brind School of Theater Arts at Philadelphia's University of the Arts.[3]
They moved to a building in the Norristown Arts District in 2012, remodeling a home to be a theater with seating for 120.[4]
The theater's administrators say that more than 10,000 children have participated in drama classes and camps. Company members started an autism program.[5] Group members started a Drama Club at Eisenhower High School in Norristown.[1]
The autism program for children and adults was covered on The Kelly Clarkson Show.[6]
