Hook-up or Break-up at Capitol Hill Arts Center: Local Artist Steps Out w/ Her Own Show

From the real-life inspiration of Seattle-based writer and performer Joanna Horowitz comes 100 Heartbreaks, a story about country singer hopeful Charlane Tucker. Tucker, a self-proclaimed expert at hook-ups, break-ups and hangovers, is a regular girl who desperately wants to "make it" in the country music world. Her genius plan to get to Nashville: Find 100 men who will love and leave her.

100 Heartbreaks is a one-woman country musical, performed by Horowitz, that follows a woman’s quest though a world of skeezy men, whisky shots and twangy music. The show brings together elements of theatre, cabaret, story telling and country music with themes stemming from the talents of Loretta Lynn, Hank Williams and Johnny Cash. Horowitz is sure to deliver a beautiful and entertaining performance. We will be there and hope to see you, too!

From the press release: "Inspired by a year in which writer Horowitz suffered through 30 unsuccessful first dates and considered chucking it all and moving to Nashville, 100 Heartbreaks is both a send-up and a love song to country music, and to love itself."

Opening night is Feb. 15 with a special hoedown featuring live music from Purty Mouth and The Jesus Chords beginning at 7 p.m. at the Capitol Hill Arts Center.

Feb. 15, 16, 22, 23, 29, March 1, 8:30 p.m. // Capitol Hill Arts Center Lower Level // Tickets: $15
