ASSASSINS
Jun 6 @ 8:00 pm

A journey through the dark side of the American dream, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s Tony-winning musical Assassins explores the lives of nine men and women who either killed (or tried to kill) one of the Presidents of the United States.

THIS SHOW CONTAINS MATURE LANGUAGE, THEMES, AND SIMULATED GUN VIOLENCE.
