Why We Shot John! at Altered Stages

Julie Carpenter presents Why We Shot John!, by Walt Stepp, opening at Altered Stages on 9 Sep 2006, following previews from 7 Sep and running through to 1 Oct 2006.

Why We Shot John!: Told by the five conspirators themselves who are now in their eighties, they assume the 25 roles in the play including Jack Kennedy himself. Although their personal account is murky after so much time has passed, the evidence is clear. They feared the power of the Civil Rights Movement with Jack Kennedy as its Great White Messiah.

Directed by B. Peter Westerhoff, Why We Shot John! features Bill Dante (Joe), Scott Glascock (Brutus), Charlotte Hampden (Hildy), Buzz Roddy (Trip) and Scott Van Tuyl (Allen).

Set design and costumes by Aaron Mastin, with lighting by Stephen Arnold and sound by Peter Sylvester.
