Urinetown
2024-10-18 19:00 - 21:00, 2024-10-19 14:00 - 16:00, 2024-10-19 19:00 - 21:00, 2024-10-20 14:00 - 16:00 | Wiliamson County Performing Arts Center, 112 Everbright Avenue, Franklin, TN, 37064
Presented by The Star Bright Players and Image Surgical Arts
The Star Bright Players (ages 13-18) and Image Surgical Arts present Urinetown the Musical, a sidesplitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown provides a hilarious musical satire and fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms in a hysterically funny and touchingly honest way. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
