Synopsis

Join us for a darkly-comic and compelling look at the lives, loves, and legacies of nine presidential assassins. A warped and tuneful tour through history, Stephen Sondheim's Assassins explores the dark underbelly of the American dream. Last season's major musical put you in the mind of an artist. To open our tenth anniversary season, we will put you face-to-face with these infamous killers.
