Urinetown, the Musical

Overview

Join us for Kirkwood Community College's fall musical, "Urinetown, the Musical"! The show runs Oct. 31-Nov. 2 and Nov. 6-8. Tickets are available at the door or in advance at: https://kirkwoodarts.simpletix.com/.

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!

The performance on Saturday, Nov. 8, at 7:30 p.m. includes American Sign Language (ASL) interpretation and features an area of reserved seating for those utilizing interpretation services. Please select from those seats if you need ASL interpretation (seats A14, A12, A10, A8, B14, B12, B10, B8, C16, C14, C12, or C10). All are welcome to this show!
