SSASSINS  by Stephen Sondheim & John Weidman
Directed by Melissa Goldman
Music Direction by Cheryl Forest Morganson

About the show:
Assassins, is a journey through the dark side of the American dream. Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman's Tony-winning musical Assassins has a haunting score and narrative that explores the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or attempted 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, the rules of time and space are bent, 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 attempt their harrowing acts in the name of β€œthe American Dream.”

NOTE: Assassins contains strong language, adult themes, prop guns, political imagery and themes related to gun violence and the use of a racial slur. The production also may utilize flashing lighting effects, projection media and possibly the use of theatrical haze and smoke (tbd).
