The shadow of that production looms large over my shoulder even as we prepare to open Arena Dinner Theatre’s new (and very differ- ent) production of Assassins. But it’s time. Like all great art, its words demand to be heard again. Perhaps now more than ever. America 2017 is a very different country than when Assassins was written. No matter what side of the political spectrum you fall on (and Assassins is not about politics), it’s become abundantly clear this past Arena Dinner Theatre year how disenfranchised many Americans feel. That is the dominant story of our country today. It is also the story of these nine Americans presents who, longing to connect and be heard, acted out in the most inappropri- ate and violent of ways. Luckily for us, Sondheim and Weidman tell their stories in a way that is as comedic as it is chilling, offering sen- sational show-stoppers for a rogue’s gallery ranging from John Wilkes Booth to John Hinckley. I’m thrilled to help bring this musical back to a Fort Wayne stage for the first time in 18 years with a first-rate cast: Mason Hunter, Cur- tis Shaw, Zane Sade, Brock Graham, Todd Frymier, Melissa Shaw, Morgan Spencer, Jim Nelson and Evan Hart as the assassins, along with Stuart Hepler, Olivia Ross, Nancy Laudeman, Brad Davis, Kent Bixler, Sophia D’Virgilio, Minelli Manoukian and Keegan Combs. Assassins makes no attempt to excuse its characters or provide answers. It does raise lots of questions as it entertains; offering an un- canny vision of where we are today, where we might be going…and whether everybody really has the right to their dreams
