Dark Horse Company Theatre proudly presents Stephen Sondheim's deliciously dark comedy and political commentary 'ASSASSINS'. 'ASSASSINS' is a musical with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by John Weidman. Based on an idea by Charles Gilbert Jr., it showcases the various assassins or "attempted" assassins of U.S. Presidents in a murderous carnival game replete with musical numbers that reflect the era in which they each lived. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, each Assassin's story is told with hitherto unexplored perspective, that of the assassin him or herself.
'ASSASSINS' is for mature audiences, and does contain adult language and simulated gun violence. Blanks will be fired.
Run time: 90 minutes.
Mature audiences only. All patrons must have a ticket regardless of age. No babes in arms.
