Haddonfield Plays and Players presents "Assassins"

originally published: 09/19/2024

(HADDONFIELD, NJ) -- Haddonfield Plays and Players presents Assassins from September 20 through October 5, 2024. Assassins explores the lives of nine men and women who either killed (or tried to kill) one of the Presidents of the United States. It features Music and Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and a book by John Weidman.

From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald and beyond, the stories of our country’s most successful and would-be assassins intersect in unexpected ways, creating a powerful, yet unnervingly funny look at some of the most shocking moments in U.S. history.

Performances take place Friday, September 20 at 8:00pm; Saturday, September 21 at 8:00pm; Sunday, September 22 at 3:00pm; Thursday, September 26 at 8:00pm; Friday, September 27 at 8:00pm; Saturday, September 28 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm; Sunday, September 29 at 3:00pm; Thursday, October 3 at 8:00pm; Friday, October 4 at 8:00pm; and Saturday, October 5 at 3:00pm & 8:00pm. Tickets are available for purchase online. Haddonfield Plays and Players is located at 957 East Atlantic Avenue in Haddonfield, New Jersey.

The original off-Broadway production in 1991 was nominated for six Drama Desk Awards including Outstanding Musical. A 2004 Broadway production won five Tony Awards including Best Revival of a Musical, three Drama Desk Awards, and two Outer Critics Circle Awards.

Haddonfield Plays and Players is a gathering of dedicated individuals who come together to provide quality theater at an affordable price to a wide range of Delaware Valley audiences, as well as to provide a creative outlet for non-professionals, all in an atmosphere of personal and social enrichment that is open to all persons with a commitment to non-profit theater.

Small

'Small' Brings Big Energy to George Street Playhouse

When thinking about occupations kids say they want when they get older, a list comes to mind – doctor, superhero, firefighter, etc. But not many would find their passion at the horse racing track and say they want to become a jockey. In "Small," an autobiographical play written and performed by Robert "Bobby" Montano, the story follows Montano as he races and fulfills his dream on the horse racing tracks of Long Island, New York. It does not stop there, however. The 90-minute play is a story of love, loss and more as Montano grapples with some difficult life decisions.
