Sondheim’s “Assassins” is a musical highlighting the lives of nine people who assassinated or attempted to assassinate an American president. The characters, from many different points in history, interact to reveal common themes among them and to tell their stories. Sometimes humorous, sometimes tragic, “Assassins” makes the audience look at what motivated these infamous historical figures and how our world and media played a part in their actions.
“Assassins” is directed by Michael Grogan, with musical direction by Marissa Carlson. The cast includes a wide variety of community members, MCLA students and high school students. Mill City Productions is a non-profit, community-based, multigenerational collaborative focused on creating an outlet for expression and education for theatrical veterans and novices alike.
