The Blank Theatre opens its 26th season with a new work written and directed by founding artistic director Daniel Henning that explores one of the most controversial events in U.S. history - the assassination of President John F. Kennedy. THE TRAGEDY OF JFK (as told by Wm. Shakespeare) is the result of several decades of research during which time Henning has come to be recognized as an authority on the subject. That, combined with his other great obsession - live theatre - meant it was only a matter of time before LA audiences would see a stage play based on his work.

The cast and designers have been set for The Blank Theatre's World premiere of The Tragedy of JFK (as told by Wm. Shakespeare) conceived, adapted, and directed by Daniel Henning. Performances begin September 24 with opening night set for Saturday, October 1 at the Skylight Theatre in Los Feliz.
