Proudly presented by Kaua’i Community Players. Stephen Sondheim’s “Assassins” takes the audience on a dark and surprisingly funny thrill ride through the twisted underside of the “American Dream”. Viewed through the disaffected eyes of a group of Presidential assassins looking to be understood, this Tony Award winning musical is guaranteed to make you think. . .and be thankful that you are not one of the people singing, “The Other National Anthem (For the Ones Who Can’t Get in to the Ballpark)”.

Who is Leftover Salmon?
Few bands stick around for thirty years. Even fewer bands leave a legacy during that time that marks them as a truly special, once in lifetime type band. And no band has done all that and had as much fun as Leftover Salmon.
Since their earliest days as a forward thinking, progressive bluegrass band who had the guts to add drums to the mix and who was unafraid to stir in any number of highly combustible styles into their ever evolving sound, to their role as a pioneer of the modern jamband scene, to their current status as elder statesmen of the scene who cast a huge influential shadow over every festival they play, Leftover Salmon has been a crucial link in keeping alive the traditional music of the past while at the same time pushing that sound forward with their own weirdly, unique style.
Salmon is a band who over their thirty year career has never stood still; they are constantly changing, evolving, and inspiring. If someone wanted to understand what Americana music is they could do no better than to go to a Leftover Salmon show, where they effortlessly glide from a bluegrass number born on the front porch, to the down and dirty Cajun swamps with a stop on Bourbon Street in New Orleans, to the hallowed halls of the Ryman in Nashville, before firing one up in the mountains of Colorado.
