In Hit the Lights! new shadow puppet musical HORSETALE, two musicians share their story of love, heartbreak, and redemption through the tale of a horse and its tail that become separated and in their search for each other, find themselves. HTL! weaves together handmade shadow puppetry, six vintage overhead projectors, live original folk/rock music, Looney Tunes homages, and American iconography to tell a story as wild and expansive as the West itself.
