Synopsis

It’s the 70’s, there’s music and make-outs, and freedom is just out of reach.

A savagely funny play about a threshold summer that forever alters an adolescent girl, as portrayed by her grown-up self.

Complex and timeless, this is a coming-of-age story for all generations.

The pathos and hubris of teenage years, the struggle for identity, independence and authenticity, and the desire to find your place in a complicated world — it all come rushing at us as she takes us on the ride of her life.

Press Reviews

"The storytelling is powerful and vivid. Gregory's words... paint an almost movie-like scene before you... This show reminds us that we each have our own past and hidden within are the universal truths of growing up."
— Broadway World

"Gregory’s work is a masterpiece of adolescent disobedience and awkward teenage interactions that is sure to elicit both raucous laughter and groans of discomfort."
— Drama in the Hood

"Allison Gregory's Wild Horses is a wickedly funny examination of the heady early teenage years. It is a stunning one woman monologue about the struggle for identity, independence and authenticity. What is remarkable about Allison Gregory's riveting tale is the universality of the story. Wild Horses is a brilliantly constructed and highly engaging tale."
— Broadway World Austin

"This heady mix presents its own combination of wonder and danger, a novel's worth of content shrunk to the size of a play, and presented through a single performer… at the end of the show we do not want to let go of the acquaintance of this sprightly, adventurous and incredibly true-to-life adolescent and her associates."
