Penn Players is proud to present its fall musical…
ASSASSINS
Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
Book by John Weidman
Directed by Tom Ridgely
Produced by Samantha Downey and Vanessa Lam
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 one-act 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.
*More information about auditions and tech interviews to come this fall.
