*Assassins* in competition

Troy Nickerson and Gary Laing's production of Sondheim's *Assassins* (Jan. 26-Feb. 18 at the Civic, downstairs) will be performed in a cut-down one-hour version in Walla Walla on March 9-11 as part of a state-wide community theater festival. (Remember that *Getting Out* (1989) and *Lonely Planet* (1999) went all the way in the nation in this same competition.) Regionals will be held later in Tacoma. And to all: Break a leg!
