Assassins
As seen in The New York Times and American Theatre Magazine for their production of SPRING AWAKENING, BARCLAY Performing Arts’ Semi-Professional Series now presents Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman’s ASSASSINS.
ASSASSINS is a multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force that unites our nation's most notorious presidential assassins. This piece explores the dark side of the American dream. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, ASSASSINS takes us on a nightmarish rollercoaster through the dark side of our nations history, exposing our nation's culture of celebrity, and the violent means some will use to obtain it.
Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, ASSASSINS is perhaps one of the most controversial musicals ever written.
Chosen with the intent to continue the unavoidable conversation within our country, and especially our community, ASSASSINS sheds light on the importance of coming together to promote listening, tolerance, and understanding. The BARCLAY team uses their platform to piggyback the conversations started during their production of SPRING AWAKENING. By sharing this message, BARCLAY creates perspective about mental health and recurring acts of violence, and the prominent effects they have on our nation’s history.
In addition, we are excited to have Cameron Kasky back with our company, as he features as Lee Harvey Oswald in our Veterans Day Performance at 2pm. This production of ASSASSINS will be used to fundraise organizations that use arts-focused mental health and wellness programs to help our community heal, such as Shine MSD. We greatly appreciate your support. We look forward to spending this Veterans Day with you. #MSDStrong #ShineMSD #NeverAgain
**Please note: There is strong, potentially offensive language used in this production as well as multiple gun shot sound effects. All firearms used in this show are props and not capable of firing real bullets and are only used for necessary artistic purposes for the production.
