Don’t Miss our Thought Provoking, Timely Production of Sondheim’s Assassins!
Tickets Selling Fast, Only 3 Weekends in August.
In this darkly humorous musical revue with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, Assassins depicts nine misfit men and women who set out to assassinate American Presidents. Though only some were successful, all left their mark on American history. While every nation has its assassins and would-be assassins, only in America, the authors suggest, do disturbed and disturbing individuals act - not because they hope to influence national politics, but because they are wrapped up in a malignant sense of entitlement. Feeling betrayed by the failed promise of American democracy and the American Dream, they strike out at the symbol for America: the American President. Assassins spans several musical styles and many decades in a dizzying series of musical and theatrical inventions.
Once again, we have assembled a very talented cast of both RUTC regulars and well known local performers who are new to the company. This group will not disappoint, and you are sure to enjoy a thought provoking, intense theatrical experience.
