ASSASSINS presented by Arlington Children's Theatre

This Tony Award-winning Stephen Sondheim musical creatively explores the dark side of the American experience.  Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, ASSASSINS lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States.

From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, the rules of time and space are bent, taking audiences on a haunting rollercoaster ride in which the notorious characters from different historical periods meet, interact and, in an intense final scene, inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.  
 
Based on the book by John Weidman with music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim, ASSASSINS features a talented cast of 35 teenage ACTors from ten local towns and is Directed by Colleen Rua and Music Director Emily Roos.

Performances are on Friday, August 8 at 7 PM; Saturday August 9 at 2 PM and Sunday August 10 at 2PM at the Regent Theatre at 7 Medford Street Arlington, MA. Tickets are $15.00 and available at the Regent Theatre box office or online at http://regenttheatre.com/tickets_events
