				Assassins, a musical July 11 - July 26, 2008 book by John Weidman, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim directed by Andy Urschel and Stephany Mullen   Bold, original, surreal, disturbing, thought-provoking and alarmingly funny, "Assassins" is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. This most American of musicals 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. An intimate acting piece for a largely male ensemble cast, "Assassins" contains some of the finest scene writing in recent memory as well as a brilliant, melodic score which pastiches American music throughout the ages, from folk to ragtime to 1970s soft rock. Its modest production requirements and educational qualities make it a perfect show for schools and smaller theatre companies. Its daring makes it ideal for any group looking for a unique, challenging theatrical experience.   Friday, July 11, 2008 at 8pm Saturday, July 12, 2008 at 8pm Friday, July 18, 2008 at 8pm Saturday, July 19, 2008 at 8pm Sunday, July 20, 2008 at 2:30pm Thursday, July 24, 2008 at 8pm Friday, July 25, 2008 at 8pm Saturday, July 26, 2008 at 8pm   Balladeer – Karl Berner John Wilkes Booth – Steven Becker Sara Jane Moore – Stephanie Naumoff Leon Czolgosz – Brian Sherwinski Samuel Byck - Jason Utesch Lynette "Squeaky" Fromme – Sherry VerWey John Hinckley – Trevor Bruss Giuseppe Zangara - Jay Hill Charles Guiteau – Bruce Berner Ensemble - Troy Yeager, Eric Berner, Brandon Berk, Lisa MacAfee, Shannon Tacaks   Adults $18 Seniors (62 & up) $15 Students (21 & under) $15 Groups (10 or more) $15 Box Office (219) 464-1636 COMMUNITY THEATRE GUILD BACK TO COMPLETE SHOW LIST
