Robert Thirsk Fine Arts Presents: “Urinetown The Musical"
Join us in Urinetown, a place where people need to pay to pee, hopes and dreams are hard to find, and satire hides around every corner.
Urinetown Synopsis (from Broadway.com)
“In this side-splitting satire, a young hero fights to create change in a s dystopian world where water is scarce and “Hope” is even scarcer. Set in a city facing a drought, all citizens must now pay a fee for “The Privilege to Pee” at one of the public facilities controlled by a selfish tycoon.”
