Directed by Lincoln College Theatre instructor Chris Gray,
Urinetown is a musical tale of love, greed, and revolution. Gray
says the play is a comedy -- often of the laugh-out-loud variety --
as it pokes at almost everything in its path. “Although Urinetown
can be seen as a long running joke, it sustains a central theme
throughout, and it's really hard to imagine anyone not producing a
laugh at some point,” said Gray. Drawing from West Side Story,
Chicago, and Les Misérables, the show pays witty tribute to the
great American musical theatre tradition. Hilariously funny and
touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective of one of
America’s greatest art forms.
Show time is at 7:30 p.m. on Saturday, October 28, with a matinee
performance at 2:00 p.m. on Sunday, October 29. Ticket prices are
$5.00 for adults, $4.00 for children and senior citizens. To reserve
tickets call (217) 732-3155, extension 280, Monday through Friday, 8
a.m. to 5 p.m.
