Description
Join us for Kirkwood Community College's fall musical, "Urinetown, the Musical"! A sidesplitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. "Urinetown" takes place in a Gotham-like city, where 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!
Show dates: Oct. 31-Nov. 2; Nov. 6-8
The performance on Saturday, Nov. 8, includes American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and features an area of reserved seating for those utilizing interpretation services.
