'Assassins' Rounds Out Mad Cow's Theater Season
Alan Bruun, artistic director of Mad Cow Theatre, announced that Assassins would be the musical rounding out their later season.
Assassins is a Sondheim musical with a book by John Weidman, and is based on an idea by Charles Gilbert, Jr. It uses the premise of a murderous carnival game to produce a revue-style portrayal of men and women who attempted to assassinate Presidents of the United States; the music varies to reflect the popular music of the eras depicted. First opening Off-Broadway in 1990, the Broadway revival of Assassins won five 2004 Tony Awards.
Mad Cow Theatre began in late 1997 as a simple 2 - show project between a group of actor/directors in a former blueprint studio in Maitland, Florida. Audiences and critics took notice and Mad Cow Theatre continued, featuring works of consistent quality and simplicity. Mad Cow's seventh season will continue in downtown Orlando after an initial 4 year period of renting space from such mainstay Central Florida organizations as Rollins College, The Orlando-UCF Shakespeare Festival and The Civic Theatres of Central Florida. As part of the downtown community, Mad Cow has built collaborative relationships with other downtown businesses and recently was awarded a Golden Brick Award for outstanding contribution to downtown life. Mad Cow Theatre has also been named Best Theatre by Orlando Magazine for two years in a row.The Mad Cow Theatre is located at 105 South Magnolia Avenue Orlando, FL 32801. The show runs May 29-July 6.
