Assassination Theater

Even after fifty years, most Americans still wonder who shot JFK and why. With ASSASSINATION THEATER, investigative reporter and author Hillel Levin offers the most plausible and complete answers to those questions heard to date. With the help of information provided by retired FBI agents that has been hidden or ignored for decades, he provides incontrovertible proof that more than one man shot the President, and identifies the organized crime masterminds behind the plot, as well as their motivation and the likely gunmen who pulled the triggers.

The World Premiere of ASSASSINATION THEATER ran from August 2015 to January 2016 at the Museum of Broadcast Communication (360 N. State Street, Chicago) with more than 9,000 tickets sold. For more information: www.AssassinationTheater.com

IN WITH THE DEVIL

[On July 8, APPLE TV starts streaming BLACK BIRD, a six-part series based on IN WITH THE DEVIL. It stars Taron Egerton, Paul Walter Hauser, Greg Kinnear, Sepideh Moafi, and Ray Liotta. Click for Trailer.] Jimmy Keene was sitting on the hot dime of a ten-year sentence when the prosecutor offered him a bizarre deal in return for his early release: Go undercover to a maximum-security penitentiary for psychiatric prisoners, befriend a serial killer and get him to confess to his crimes.

He was a birdlike little man with a carefully trimmed mustache and styled curlicues of black hair that cascaded to his shoulders. When he did dart out of the house, he was in full plumage, which could mean a fire-engine-red suit and a purple tie with a belt and boots made of matching alligator skin. “Of course,” Ricki laughs, “everyone thought he was a drug dealer.”

Her husband was indeed a dealer, but what he dealt could not have been more different from dope, and that’s what she found so funny. Zabrin sold art, and not just any art—primarily limited edition prints from the 20th-century masters Joan Miró, Marc Chagall, Pablo Picasso, and Salvador Dali.
