This production of Assassins imagined a meeting of disenfranchised Americans inside an abandoned warehouse--a failed industrial complex parodying their own broken dreams. The proprietor installed a shooting gallery, transforming the space into a shadowy carnival of sorts. Potential shooters could earn medals by taking aim at the presidents they believed failed them.
