IMAGINE NO HOMELESSNESS was produced in conjunction with Theatre Horizon's production of In the Blood by Suzan-Lori Parks.
Current and formerly homeless participants came together with area college students and In the Blood actors to share stories of what home means to them, then reunited to create art installations expressing those ideas for display in Theatre Horizon's lobby. Many formerly homeless participants further amplified their stories by bravely sharing them in nightly In the Blood post-show discussions and the ensembles.
