“Assassins” examines the fabric of America
BY CATHY MOLITORIS
Amusical about successful and would-be murderers might seem like a bit of downer, but there are lessons to be learned and even a bit of levity in “Assassins.” The show will be performed at Susquehanna Stage, 133 W. Market St., Marietta, on select dates from Friday, Oct. 25, to Sunday, Nov. 3.
“The show is about a group of both successful and attempted presidential assassins telling their story and going through vignettes with the details of their lives, details of the specific acts they committed and how they all tie into each other and tie into the fabric of America,” said Sean Reynolds, who portrays John Wilkes Booth in the musical.
“It’s a story about the collective idea of what America is.”
Written by Stephen Sondheim,
“Assassins” weaves together the stories of nine people, including well-known assassins Booth and Lee Harvey Oswald, with lesser-known subjects such as Charles Guiteau, Leon Czolgosz and Samuel Byck.
Reynolds said he learned a lot about his character and others in the show while researching his part. “It’s fascinating to think about how you have these really big, watershed figures in American history side by side with someone who the general public doesn’t know,” he shared, “but they all come together in this story.”
Meagan Mapson, who portrays Sara Jane Moore, a woman who attempted to assassinate Gerald Ford, said the subject of the show may seem surprising, but the musical offers an opportunity to learn more about important moments in America’s history.
“The show doesn’t glorify what they’ve done, but you get a sense of what their motivation was, why they did what they did,” she said. “Everyone has their own version of the American Dream, and to me, the assassins also have that American Dream, but they pursue it in a very different and not-so-acceptable way.”
Given current events, the show is especially relevant, Reynolds said, but he emphasized that audiences will walk away with something no matter when the show is performed.
“This is one of those shows that is simultaneously timely, in that it’s examining all of the things that were going on in the country at these specific times, but the big, overarching themes are so timeless,” he said. “These are themes that have existed as long as the country has existed.”

When the organizers of the Zion Evangelical Lutheran Church bazaar say they have something for everyone, they’re not kidding.
“If you enjoy going to craft fairs, we have something for you. If you have a sweet tooth, we have something for you,” said organizer Mary Ann Eshleman.
“If you like yard sales, we have something for you. If you don’t feel like cooking dinner, we have something for you. You can pick up some new decorations for your home, buy Christmas gifts, eat your lunch here and take home dinner and dessert and feel good because your money is going to a good cause.”
The bazaar will be held at the church, 1290 River Road, Marietta, from 9 a.m. to 2 p.m. on
Friday and Saturday, Nov. 1 and 2. The event will feature food, crafts and white elephant items for sale.
“Handcrafted items are made by a small group of dedicated church members who get together monthly to create seasonal and decorative items, in addition to some members who make things at home,” Eshleman said. “Some new things that we have this year include: wooden

Dr. David Eichler loves being out on the water. He also loves sharing his knowledge of boating with students of all ages. Now the member of Glossbrenner Church in Mount Joy can do both those things more often. Thanks to Eichler’s efforts, the church was awarded a Pennsylvania Fish & Boat Commission (PFBC) R3 grant in July. “R3” stands for recruitment, retention and reactivation. The grant awarded the church funds to
purchase seven canoes, a trailer, paddles and personal flotation devices (PFDs).
Eichler taught health, physical and outdoor education at Donegal High School for 35 years. He used canoes provided through PFBC grants and fundraising initiatives to teach and certify students in boat safety. When he retired in January of 2020, he hoped to keep instructing people, but he needed canoes and equipment to do so. When the school district held a public drawing for the canoes, kayaks

and trailers that Eichler had used, members of Glossbrenner Church submitted ballots, but they were not chosen. “Doc,” as he’s referred to by his students, wasn’t deterred. He applied for the PFBC grant this year and took students on maiden voyages of the canoes in September.
A group of Boy Scouts from Maytown Troop 53 took to the water at Speedwell Forge Lake in Elm for the first trip. “The Scouts learned things like floating in their PFDs, how to retain body heat while in the water, the use of throw bags, safely capsizing their canoe, performing boat-over-boat rescues and paddle strokes,” Eichler said.
Scout Logan Kean commented, “I liked it when we went in the canoe and flipped it over. I think overall it was a fun day here.”

Assistant Scoutmaster Tim Ford added, “The classroom instruction was very interactive; even with the young boys it was very engaging. The on-water training was a lot of fun for the boys, and they did better than I expected!”
“It was great to be out and about with church friends,” said Debbie. “The canoes and accessories are fantastic, and we are so blessed to have them.” Other participants emphasized the easyto-follow instruction they received as well as the opportunity to enjoy nature, including a blue heron that followed their route.

The second outing brought members of Glossbrenner Church out on Speedwell Forge Lake. “The goals for Glossbrenner Church members were to not intentionally capsize but to stay dry, learn some basic paddle strokes, properly don a life jacket or PFD, relax and have fun,” Eichler said of the group that included church members Wayne and Debra Kennedy, Vaughn and Debbie Nissley, Steve and Pat Spence and Jackie Roberts and Glossbrenner Church youth member Jordan York.
Eichler proclaimed that the Lord blessed his church with these canoes and related equipment through the graciousness of the R3 grant. “I’m privileged to have the ability to share my knowledge of canoe and boat safety to the Glossbrenner Church family and to the Maytown Boy Scouts,” he said. He’s also hoping people from other areas of Lancaster County will want to use the equipment and take advantage of Eichler’s instruction. “Glossbrenner Church extends the canoeing opportunity to others in the local communities,” he said. “If your group, church, business, Scout troop, school, etc., has interest in 2025 and beyond, contact Doc at Glossbrenner Church at 717-6535683 and leave a message.”

items - cats, snowmen, reversible pumpkin stack and snowman, cardinals, penguins, pillar candles and tree-shaped candle holders.”
Other handmade items will include wreaths, floral arrangements, snowman tea light holders and Christmas ornaments, as well as crocheted items such as dish cloths, fun creature hats, amigurumi animals, card baskets and catnip mice.
Beaded jewelry, including earrings, bracelets and necklaces, will be for sale, along with paper items such as gift bags, gift tags, memo pads,
journals and gift card holders.
“We often try to use recycled materials in our crafts, including wood from pallets, corks, buttons, old Christmas cards, glass yogurt containers and globes from our old candelabras,” Eshleman said.
A white elephant area will feature gently used and reasonably priced books, jigsaw puzzles, seasonal decorations and other treasures.
Food for sale will include homemade baked goods such as breads, cookies and cupcakes; candy; and sweet and salty snacks. Church
members will also create cute candy treats such as Hershey bar snowmen and penguins, owls made from caramel creams and miniature chocolate candies, and Tootsie Pop pumpkins and flowers.
“We will sell a variety of soups, including vegetable beef, chicken corn and ham and bean, sold cold by the quart, and hamburger and pork barbecue by the pint,” Eshleman shared. “For the first time since 2019, we will have a dining area with a menu of hot dog and meatball sandwiches, macaroni and cheese, chips and drinks.”
Proceeds from the bazaar will be split between the church’s elevator fund and its outreach ministries of the
“Assassins”
Reynolds said the show focuses on connection and how most people are just looking to belong, and although the topic of the show is serious, there are moments of comedy on stage.
“We are all looking for a way to connect, to be heard, to feel like we belong, whether that’s just to one other person, to a family, to a peer group, to society at large,” he shared. “This group of people has a very wide range of reasons why they do the things they do, but they are all connected in this way.”
Ethan Reimel, who portrays Giuseppe Zangara, president-elect Franklin Roosevelt’s would-be assassin, said he enjoyed learning more about his character, including how Zangara had undiagnosed medical problems that caused severe pain as well as post-traumatic stress disorder from serving in the Italian army during World War I.

Eshleman invites everyone to come to the bazaar to get a jump on holiday shopping and pick up some new-toyou items. She emphasized the event relies on a team of volunteers.
“Our bazaar is a great group effort,” she said. “Our entire congregation helps in one way or another - making crafts and food for sale, donating items for the white elephant table, helping to set up our displays and work during our bazaar. It’s a lot of work, but it’s also great fellowship with our friends and neighbors in the community.”

“Because these were real people, there’s so much to draw from when you’re creating the character,” Reimel said.
“Assassins” premiered off Broadway in 1990 to mixed reviews, and the show was set for a revival in 2001. That revival was postponed following the events of 9/11, Mapson noted, but when it was revived on Broadway in 2004, it opened to stellar reviews, winning five Tony Awards, including Best Revival of a Musical.
“I tell people, if you love history and you love Sondheim, come see this show,”she said.“It’s a dark comedy, but there’s moments of vulnerability there as well. It’s a very character-driven show.”
“Assassins” will be performed at 7:30 p.m. on Fridays and Saturdays, Oct. 25 and 26 and Nov. 1 and 2, as well as Thursday, Oct. 31. Performances are also set for 2 p.m. on Sundays, Oct. 27 and Nov. 3. For more information, visit www.susquehannastage.com.
