Main Stage Theater

Assassins, written in 1990, is the genius work of Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman that speaks to the moment we are in as a country in a prescient and powerful way. It tells the story of a group of Americans, from varied time periods, consumed by grievance and a desperate need to be heard. It has been described as “bold, original, and surprisingly funny.”

CORE Theatre’s “Rhinoceros”

with CORE Theatre Ensemble

July 30, 2026 to August 01, 2026

8:00pm & 3:00pm Saturday

Main Stage Theater

It’s all quite absurd. Join Core for a wonderful dose of ridiculous in this savage commentary on the human condition. A small, quiet, bucolic town is besieged by roaring citizens who have become rhinoceroses and proceed to trample on social order.
