Rockhurst High School Theatre Department

Come see our production of URINETOWN!
In the not-so-distant future, a terrible water shortage and 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets and a proliferation of paid public toilets, owned and operated by a single megalomaniac company: the Urine Good Company. If the poor don’t obey the strict laws, they’ll be sent to the dreaded and mysterious “Urinetown.” After too long under the heel of the malevolent Caldwell B. Cladwell, the poor stage a revolt, led by a brave young hero, fighting tooth and nail for freedom from the brutal control of the UGC. A brilliant satire modeled off the plays of Kurt Weill and Bertolt Brecht, Urinetown is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp.

March 2-4 at 7:30pm and March 4 at 2:00pm
Tickets are $10 for adults, $5 for seniors, and students are FREE.

No tickets are needed! Just bring a blanket to sit on and be ready to enjoy some music and dancing! It is chilly at night, so be prepared to bundle up!
