Assassins
The groundbreaking musical “Assassins” by Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman opens the Triad Pride Acting Company’s 2022-23 season with a Bang! Using the most American of art forms, the musical, “Assassins” investigates the personalities of nine men and women who killed or attempted to kill nine Presidents. These Presidential assassins are never glorified or celebrated, but presented by Sondheim and Weidman to explore how and why each of these outsiders stop and alter history. The show is entertaining yet thought-provoking, and at turns, hilarious, jolting, and heart-wrenching, as the history of these men and women unfurls across (and often without regard to) time.
