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.
