Oedipus in Seattle

Each night, two actors—who have never read the script or rehearsed—take the stage to perform the show for the first time!
In this wild, interactive mashup of the Greek tragedy Oedipus Rex and the Tom Hanks/Meg Ryan rom-com Sleepless in Seattle, two unsuspecting actors play Oedipus/Meg Ryan, and Jocasta/Tom Hanks. Guided only by what’s in their hearts and the voice of destiny (okay, pre-recorded directions over a headset), Oedipus/Meg and Jocasta/Tom act out this hilarious yet poignant meditation on fate, free will, and the American sweethearts who defined rom-coms for a generation. A rotating cast of Theatre Horizon favorites takes the stage each night, making every performance a singular, unrepeatable event.
