Nine notorious assassins gather on stage to violently pursue a twisted American Dream.

Assassins

Music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim

Book by John Weidman

Produced by sorry/grateful theatre

Pay-what-you-can Preview April 16th

Thursdays through Saturdays @ 7:30pm

Sundays @ 2pm


Using the framing device of an all-American, yet sinister, carnival game, Assassins portrays a group of historical figures who attempted (successfully or not) to assassinate presidents of the United States, and explores what their presence in American history says about the ideals of their country.

A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny.
