Assassins - A musical by Stephen Sondheim and John WeidmanDirected by Alice KirklandA multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheims signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nations culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by Americas four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written.Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical revusical that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.*Performance Note: This show contains the use of prop guns and the sound of gun fire.Performances: October 18, 19, 24, 25, 26, 31, November 1, 2, at 8:00 p.m.Matinee: October 27 and November 3, at 2:30 p.m.Assassins is presented by special arrangement with Musical Theatre International.
