Supporting Our Students

Wilson Theater Company Presents
Urinetown: The Musical
The Wilson Theater Company is excited to present the  Tony Award winning social satire 
URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL . Shows will be held April 26, 27 & 28 at 7:30 pm.

Urinetown  is an earnest fable of love, greed and revolution, set in a town plagued by drought.  A simple enough plot, complete with a villain, hero, and romance.  A malevolent corporation controls the town 's public amenities and the president's daughter falls for the leader of a "pee-for-free" rebellion.  All of this according to Little Sally, the shows ragamuffin philosopher, is a bad subject for a musical (so is the title!), but it is outrageously funny!  The show spoofs the great American Musical and will get the audience doing more than passively sitting in their seats. It will get them laughing, get them groaning, get them thinking.  Do yourself a favor, and go see Urinetown For tickets, visit www.wilsontheater.org.  
To review more details about the show, you can review the Stage Notes .
