Winner of three Tony awards, “Urinetown” is a social and political satire set in a fictional future where a terrible 20-year drought has crippled the city’s water supplies. Water is so scarce that the government enforces a ban on all private toilets to control water consumption. Citizens who try to circumvent the peeing fee by relieving themselves in the bushes risk being taken away to “Urinetown,” a mysterious place where many have been sent but no one ever returns.

This performance is directed by Cynthia Topps, with musical direction by Laura Evans and choreography by Diane Holbert.

All performances take place at The Playhouse at Museum Village at 1010 Route 17M, Monroe. Admission is $28 and includes dessert at intermission of apple pie, ice cream, iced tea, and coffee.
