Written by Aristophanes, adapted by Ellen McGlaughlin, directed by Don Mays
Produced in special arrangement with Playscripts, Inc. (playscripts.com)
Follow Lysistrata, our Athenian heroine, as she creates an…unconventional…movement to end the Peloponnesian War. The women of Greece vow a prohibition in the bedroom until the violence of war has ceased. If the women of Greece refuse to love, will the men refuse to war? This fast-paced, comedic retelling of the classic Aristophanes play brings to light issues society has been discussing for millennia. Will we finally figure out how to make love, not war?

Book & Lyrics by Greg Kotis, Music & Lyrics by Mark Hollman.
Winner of three Tony Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! In a Gotham-like city, 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! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms.
Tickets may be purchased online through the Box Office once they become availalbe.
