Lauren Gopi (Stage Manager) joyfully spends far too much time at the Theatre, serving as the Operations Manager, Company Manager for Players on High, and Resident Stage Manager. After living a whole other life, Lauren is now returning to her theatre roots, most recently stage managing The Time of Your Life, which took place immediately before this production, proving once and for all that she is well and truly off her rocker. Endless thanks to her children, Lena and JD, and especially to her husband Surag, for not only putting up with all her shenanigans, but also joining in on the chaos. ... See MoreSee Less

Jeremy Tuttle (Director/Projections Design/Set Design) has found the dream… directing his first show with Players on High. Assassins isn't just another musical for Jeremy; it has been one of his favorite musicals ever since high school when he won gold at the state drama competition with one of Byck's monologues. He is unworthy of the love he has received from this marvelous cast and crew. When he's not directing, you'll find him out in the yard with his wonderful partner, Emma, and their two mini-poodles, Ophelia and Desdemona. ... See MoreSee Less

Assassins, presented by Players on High
Book by John Weidman
Music & Lyrics by Stephen Sondheim
🎟️ carlisletheatre.showare.com/assassins
Run: April 17 - 26 (7 performances)
“A multiple Tony Award-winning theatrical tour-de-force. Bold, original, disturbing and alarmingly funny, Assassins is perhaps the most controversial musical ever written. Assassins lays bare the lives of nine individuals who assassinated or tried to assassinate the President of the United States, in a one-act historical "revusical" that explores the dark side of the American experience. From John Wilkes Booth to Lee Harvey Oswald, writers, Stephen Sondheim and John Weidman, bend the rules of time and space, taking us on a nightmarish roller coaster ride in which assassins and would-be assassins from different historical periods meet, interact and inspire each other to harrowing acts in the name of the American Dream.”
