American Presidents. We’ve all lived long enough to loathe a few.

But what goes through the head of someone who
tries to kill the President of the United States?
 
We’ve come up with a few possible reasons.
Test Question:  Can you guess which ones are true?

To sell more books
As an act of patriotism
To cure a case of gastric distress
For political justice
To get a date
To impress a guy named Charlie
To confront class inequities
So people will know “where I’m coming from”
 
Answer:  All of the them.

If you’ve never seen Assassins by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman,
don’t be put-off by the seemingly bizarre subject matter.  
There’s a reason this musical has been honored with numerous Tony Awards.
And there are many more reasons why this musical has had prestigious
revivals on Broadway and London’s East End and why it’s performed scores of times,
year after year, by regional theaters and on college campuses.

Still not sure?  Check out the original Broadway Cast Soundtrack
of Assassins by going to YouTube.
 
If you’ve seen Assassins before,
you already know the stories these men and women tell
and the songs they sing aren’t simply the self-centered rants of lunatics and the characters
depicted aren’t mere historical figures.  On-stage, they become alive as metaphors
for the lethal discontent in our society, indelibly tattooed in the American psyche.
Assassins leaves a profound impression on everyone who sees it. 
Please, don’t miss this opportunity to share that experience with your friends that didn’t
get to New York City over the last few months to see the recent revival
or the last time it was produced in Cleveland. 
 
During the first three weekends in February, these assassins will tell their
stories at Lakeland Community College.
