Horse Head Theatre debuts with Red Light Winter
Regional premiere opens September 24, 2009

Horse Head Theatre Co. presents Red Light Winter as its premiere production running September 24 to October 10 at Frenetic Theater. Written by Adam Rapp, Red Light Winter has not been seen in Houston before. Horse Head Theatre hopes to bring an exceptionally new and engaging theatre-going opportunity for Houston audiences by creating a completely designed experience. Horse Head Theatre’s goal with all of its shows is to create a theatrical presentation that reinvigorates the soul and reawakens the human spirit. Horse Head productions begin and end with ceremonial rituals and create opportunities for audiences to break the traditional code of theatre etiquette.

The story of Red Light Winter centers on misplaced affections between long time friends Matt and Davis, and an enigmatic Amsterdam prostitute, Christina. All three characters have flaws that they are aware of but do nothing to change. Because of this, emotions are propelled in a tragically wrong direction, creating an end sequence that rips out your heart with rage, disgust, pity, and complete stupor.

Designers Anthony Contello, Andrew Harper, Kevin Holden, Elisabeth Bancroft Wessel Meindl, Matthew Schlief, Robert Thoth and Frank J. Vela work together to transform the space into a life-sized whirling version of the streets and sounds of Amsterdam’s red light district and Manhattan’s East Village. Local artist Brian Beken has composed an original soundtrack for the show. Houston actors Troy Schulze (Matt), Drake Simpson (Davis) and Amy Burn (Christina) are the stars of Red Light Winter.
