about the show

Since then, community theater audiences have enjoyed Horizons of Gold in Chicago, Indianapolis, Michigan, and Kentucky. Directors, cast members, theater critics, and audiences have showered this heartwarming, crowd-pleasing show with enthusiastic praise!
A Story of Perseverance Amidst Shattered Dreams
Rose is a young Mexican migrant, abandoned and lost in turbulent 1930s California. She clings to Margaret Thomas, a Kansas farmwife displaced by the Dust Bowl. Together, they grieve a lost family and search for home and healing in the midst of unrelenting hardships. Could John Bollen, the generous wheat farmer down the road, be a savior for them both? A powerful journey of the heart unfolds for three people who find their lives intertwined, each desperate to heal the past and embrace a new future.
Lush, full-bodied orchestrations and soaring melodies take us back to the sweeping wheat fields of America’s Great Plains. With its cast of vibrant characters, this thoughtful script is packed with heart-rending drama, laugh-out-loud humor, and gentle romance.
