Arts On The Horizon Announces 2018-2019 Season

Arts on the Horizon, an interactive theatre company for children ages zero to six, is excited to present its 6th season. As the first theatre company in the United States to stage completely non-verbal performances for young audiences, Arts on the Horizon shows are performed solely with sound, movement and live music to engage children at any stage of language development and also children whose first language may not be English.

This exciting season will feature a remount of a family favorite, Adventures with Mr. Bear, and two new commissions; Beep Beep! and Sailing on String. In October 2018, Sailing on String will have a sneak peek performance run, in addition to the full performance run in May 2019.

"Arts on the Horizon shows are purposely written and performed to benefit young audiences at a critical stage of their development through an interactive and inclusive environment," says founder and producing artistic director, Michelle Kozlak. "Each show blends a rich variety of sounds, visual elements, and touchpoints so that children at any stage of development can begin a hands-on exploration and love of theatre from an early age."
