## Resource

A gripping new theater production in Virginia Beach dives headfirst into the dark, twisted world of presidential assassins — from John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald — revealing the chillingly shared belief that violence could rewrite history. With haunting music by Stephen Sondheim and a parade of real-life killers, the show explores their motivations, madness, and desperate need for legacy. From Garfield’s assassin Charles Guiteau to Reagan’s would-be shooter John Hinckley Jr., each character is portrayed with unsettling intensity, culminating in the still-shocking legacy of JFK’s murder. Bold, minimalist staging amplifies the urgency, making this a provocative, emotionally heavy experience that challenges audiences to confront the shadows beneath American history — and the unsettling relevance of these stories today.
