As the country reflects on its administration and the direction we will take in this election year, The Berea Grindstone Players and The Cassidy Theatre will embark on a timely and important new partnership to bring the musical Assassins to northeast Ohio. Assassins is being produced by the Grindstone Players but will take place at The Cassidy Theatre. The show, which will take place a month before the current general election, reflects on our culture, the American dream and asks many of the questions voters are asking right now during this current presidential campaign. Assassins is bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny. This most American of shows features the wonderful music of Stephen Sondheim and 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, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish rollercoaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins 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.

Assassins showtimes are October 10, 11, 16, 17 & 18 at 8p and October 12 at 3p.

Tickets are available by calling the Cassidy Theatre box office at (440) 842-4601.

Assassins is intended for mature audiences - parental guidance is strongly suggested.

ASSASSINS WILL BE DIRECTED BY GEOFFREY SHORT WITH MUSICAL DIRECTION BY HEIDI HERCZEG

The last few words made me think of Sinatra in "Suddenly". He's hired to kill the president, and does it only for the money. He personally thinks the idea is idiotic. He says something like "You kill the president, and 5 minutes you got another one? What's the point? What changes?"
