Bold, original, disturbing, and alarmingly funny, ASSASSINS lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a historical revusical that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, 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 harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.
ASSASSINS features mature content including strong language, on-stage violence and death, and mature themes. Actors may be required to work with replica firearms, and potentially with working guns that fire blanks. Please take this into consideration before you audition.
***Also, any performers already involved in productions with April or May performance dates cannot be considered due to conflicting rehearsal periods.
