A wildly theatrical new comedy plus your chance to win tickets!
If you are craving a night out filled with laughter, sharp humor, and a little chicken‑fried chaos, Horizon Theatre has exactly what you need. Their newest production, Holy Chicken Sandwich, runs from Friday, August 21st through Saturday, September 19, 2026, and it is the perfect pick for a girls’ night out, a fun date night, or an evening escape into Atlanta’s most delightfully absurd comedy of the season.
Written by award‑winning Atlanta playwright Kira Rockwell and directed by Horizon’s Co‑Artistic Director Lisa Adler, this wildly theatrical show drops audiences into the overnight parking‑lot campout for the grand opening of the fictional fast‑food chain Holy Chicken Grail. One hundred die‑hard superfans gather for the chance to win a year of free fried chicken combos, yet as the night unfolds, loyalties crack, secrets spill, and the flock begins to fracture.
What starts as a corporate celebration quickly spirals into a hilarious showdown involving influencers, YouTubers, devoted “Grailers,” and even a pantheon of shape‑shifting chicken gods. Rockwell’s signature Southern voice blends satire, heart, and big theatrical energy to explore what happens when belief, identity, and community collide, all in the most absurd setting imaginable.
⭐ A Stellar Atlanta Cast
The ensemble transforms rapidly between characters, bringing the chaos to life with big laughs and surprising heart. Cara Mantella leads the flock as Jade, the overwhelmed new store manager trying to keep the peace. Surrounding her is a dynamic cast portraying everything from devoted superfans to corporate leaders to mythical chicken deities. It’s fast, funny, and packed with the kind of performances that make Horizon Theatre a local favorite.
🎭 Why It’s Perfect for Girls’ Night or Date Night
Holy Chicken Sandwich is smart, silly, and wildly theatrical. The kind of show that is even better when you are watching with your favorite people.
- Girls’ night out: Grab dinner in Little Five Points, then head to Horizon for a night of laughter and chaos.
- Date night: It is quirky, clever, and guaranteed to give you something to talk about long after the final bow.
