Assassination Theater

NEW JFK DOCUMENTS? LATHER, RINSE, REPEAT Sad to say, we've been through this experience before after this president was first elected. As a result, what I wrote then (click below) appears to fit the release we see now. Bottom line: The most important documents have already been released. If anyone bothers to read them, it's clear that there was more than one shooter and who was behind the assassination.

JFK Document Release—The Good, The Bad and The Ugly October 29, 2017 Hillel Levin As you can imagine, I’ve been asked to comment on the declassified documents related to John F. Kennedy’s assassination that were released on October 26 in compliance with the 1992 Congressional legislation known...

Although I am hardly a fan of Ted Cruz, I feel I must respond to Donald Trump's preposterous claim that Cruz's father, Rafael, was in league with Lee Harvey Oswald. His proof positive is this photo, which I show several times in the course of Assassination Theater. If that is indeed Rafael Cruz, Oswald was not consorting with him. Instead, Oswald was confronting the anti-Castro Cruz with a "Hands Off Cuba" handbill. It's one of many public displays LHO made to show he was a Castro-loving Communist in the weeks before the assassination. To learn more about the photo, click here: http://tinyurl.com/zutrn2s

These days plenty of folks are asking about the Hulu series that debuts tonight which is based on the Stephen King novel, 11.22.63. The book's premise is that the hero can go back in time to stop Lee Harvey Oswald and save JFK. As Assassination Theater shows, LHO was not the lone assassin. In fact, there's compelling evidence that he didn't even pull a trigger. For more on that, read here: http://tinyurl.com/he4mqs6

On this day, it only seems appropriate to share a photo of President John F. Kennedy and First Lady Jacqueline Kennedy in 1962 with the Blue Room Christmas Tree. Happy Holidays to all from the cast and crew of Assassination Theater.

Evanston Patch recommends Assassination Theater! "Play actors Michael Joseph Mitchell, Mark Ulrich, Ryan Kitley and Martin Yurek enthrall the audience as they portray the big names associated with the mob, the FBI, U.S. government and ‘Overworld’ leaders...There’s no fiction to this, just a really, really good account of what very well may have happened."
