Assassins is being produced by the Grindstone Players but will take place at The <a href="http://www.cassidytheatre.com/"><b>Cassidy Theatre</b></a> . The show, which will take place a month before the current general election, reflects on our culture, the American dream and asks many of the questions voters are asking right now during this current presidential campaign. </div><div><br></div><div>Assassins is bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny. This most American of shows features the wonderful music of Stephen Sondheim and lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried 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, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and in an intense final scene inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.</div><div><br></div><div>All roles are open.
