Alison’s experience with life after death and instant mediumship started the day her mother died when she was 27 years old. Join Alison as we explore the reality of life after death.

Urinetown

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!
