Production History

Arts on the Horizon produced its inaugural show, Drumming with Dishes, in May 2011 in Alexandria, VA.  
With the resounding success of that show and the high demand for theatre for the very young, Arts on the Horizon continued to grow, presenting its first full season of shows in 2013-2014.  Committed to high quality, entertaining and educational theatre for children 0-6, Arts on the Horizon has produced
more than 25 new works with several more currently in development.
