Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is an irreverent satire that skewers politics, social irresponsibility, and even musicals themselves. After a devastating 20-year drought, the government of a Gotham-like city has banned private toilets, forcing citizens to pay admission to a single, sinister company for one of life’s most basic needs. But a brave hero emerges and decides enough is enough and inspires the town to revolt along with him. Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown has been hailed for its modern wit, outrageous perspective, and cheeky send ups of the musical genre.


Urinetown The Musical

Young Theatre

welfth Night  is a classically Shakespearean comedy of unrequited love and gender confusion. When aristocratic twins Viola and Sebastian are separated in a shipwreck (and both think the other is dead), they are forced to fend for themselves in a strange town. Along the way, Viola disguises herself as a man (Cesario) to be near the count she loves, Orsino, who dotes on OIivia. But Olivia, who is idolized by Malvolio, falls for Cesario. Enter Sebastian, a near look-alike of his sister, who resurfaces to heighten the confusion – and comedy – of their romantic predicaments. In this reimagining of  Twelfth Night, director Collette Rutherford transports her cast to a coastal Italian resort town at the height of the 1920s Jazz Age
