Urinetown: The Musical
By Mark Hollman and Greg Kotis
Directed by Katie Rodda and Choreographed by Kristin Arcidiacono
Musical Direction by Michael Farley

(Yeah, we know, it’s a terrible title.) When a water shortage has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets, the citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single evil company that charges inflated fees for people to take care of their most basic need. Hero Bobby Strong leads a revolution to overtake the evil empire and allow everyone to be able to pee freely. Urinetown is a musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, bureaucracy, and musical theatre itself.

Performance dates: April 17 – 26 | Rehearsals will be held M-Th, 3:30 – 6:30

See the Facebook event page for more details.
