Assassins
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim | Book by John Weidman
Directed by Michelle Peck Davis
Assistant Directed by Ali Tallman
Presented by Out of Box Theatre
The political circus meets the literal circus in a spectacular "revusical," exploring a dark side of the American experience through the lens of a fantastically grotesque carnival game. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, we bend the rules of time and space to enter 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 love, liberty, and the American Dream.
