For some six decades, Stephen Sondheim {Gypsy, Sunday in the Park with George, A Little Night Music and so on) has penned the music and lyrics to our lives—or at least our most dramatic moments, onstage and off. Now a new concert for “Sanity on the Streets” reunites local veteran performers of Sondheim’s oeuvre to honor the victims of January’s tragedy in Tucson, and to cast a light on gun violence. “Songs of Sondheim,” which will benefit local non profits Ccrimon 1 louse, a “sanctuary for the humanities” whose namesake was first coined by Shakespeare in Pericles, and Stumptown Stages, reassembles the Port land cast of Sondheim’s 1991 classic Assassins—staged to great fanfare in 2006 by Artists Repertory Theatre. Not so coincidentally, Stumptown Stages artistic di rector Kirk Mouser won a Drammy Award that year for his performance as John Wilkes Booth, and Cerimon House executive director Randall Stuart was a fellow Drammy winner for his work as Charles Guiteau (who shot U.S. President James A. Garfield). The gentlemen will be joined by a who’s who of area talent for the two- night event, among them Susannah Mars (to team with Mouser on “Booth”), Margie Boulc (who’ll “remember sky”), Brian Bartley and more. Along with Assassins, the concert will revisit Sond heim staples Merrily We Roll Along and Evening Prim rose in what’s shaping up to be an evening of high drama and higher notes in celebration of the Great White Way and beyond.
