What: War Horse at the Fox Theatre

When: September 25-30, 2012
Cost: Tickets start at $42

I love seeing how things are transferred from film to stage. How do they make what seems impossible, possible. For the upcoming show War Horse at the Fox Theatre, that meant creating Joey, a colt that could grow up on stage, go from farm horse to a warrior’s steed and be ridden by the actors.

I met Joey and his handlers recently at a preview for the show, which tells the story of a boy and his horse. The horse is taken away to serve in World War I and the boy joins the army to find him. I was already interested in the play, but meeting Joey made me even more excited to see the stage performance when it comes to Atlanta Sept. 25-30. Here are some interesting facts about Joey, and some photos from the sneak preview to get you excited as well.
