# Event Details - **Event Name**: Auditions: "Assassins", a musical by Stephen Sondheim - **Event Start and End Date**: Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 10:00 am – Sat, 10 Jan, 2026 at 12:00 pm - **Event Description**: The Breakthrough Theatre Company will hold auditions for the Stephen Sondheim/John Weidman musical, "Assassins", on the following dates and times: Saturday, January 10, 10 a.m.-12 p.m. Sunday, January 11, 6-8 p.m. SYNOPSIS: A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force, Assassins combines Sondheim's signature blend of intelligently stunning lyrics and beautiful music with a panoramic story of our nation's culture of celebrity and the violent means some will use to obtain it, embodied by America's four successful and five would-be presidential assassins. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins 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, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream. To Audition, prepare 16-32 measures of any song. There will not be a piano accompanist. Have your song on your phone, or we can pull up a YouTube video on the theater computer. You will also read from the script. If new to the Breakthrough, please bring a recent headshot, or face picture. Resumes are optional. All roles are unpaid, but we collect tips at each performance that are divided amongst the cast.
