Miscellaneous words
"Ms. Horner is a prodigy of sorts, a consummately gifted singer and actress, mature well beyond her years in terms of her command of craft and ability to be fully present in the moment, firing on all cylinders ... she is impressively centered, in both her voice and her body, and always prepared to fully engage with her colleagues in rehearsal. ... She is resilient, has a strong work ethic, is personable and collaborative and an open vessel, eager to improve her craft skills and unafraid of failure. ... On stage, she is completely and effortlessly charismatic and alive in the moment." ~ Doug Wager
"[She is] a remarkable young woman, wise and gifted far beyond her years ... such a grounded sense of self, incredible instincts, intellect, grace, kindness and compassion." ~ Maggie Anderson
"She's the real deal. Absolutely self possessed. Gorgeous. Stunning voice. She [is] simple, clear, efficient, connected. And her VOICE will heal whatever ails you." ~ Jeffrey Coon
Praise for The Underpants
"Truly luminous - a professional, well crafted and delightful performance full of ease, wit, and joy." ~ Maggie Anderson
Praise for The Matchmaker
"All Horner has to do is hum, and I can hear the superior quality of her voice and tone. When she sings, it’s heaven ... As Irene, Horner, like Czarnecki, is not afraid to convey maturity. ... Horner maintains a certain sophistication and hauteur while also being game for a joke." Read the full review HERE
Praise for my new play, THE LAST RENTERS
"It's a very good piece of work. I found it funny, moving, mature, relevant, exciting, convincing and solid. Your dialogue is terrific. You didn't over-explain things and left gaps for us to fill in." ~ Robert Hedley
