[NEohioPAL] Pay to pee at Ashland University!

[Michelle Williams]

AU Theatre brings you Urinetown, the musical
comedy that asks you to pay to pee!!!!

Urinetown runs Feb. 19, 20, 26, 27 at 7:30 p.m. and Feb. 21 at 2 p.m. in the Hugo Young Theatre in the Center for the Arts on the campus of Ashland University!!!

Directed by Dr. Teresa Durbin-Ames and Cassie Haines with musical direction by Brian Nabors and choreography by Pierre-Jacques Brault, the Tony-Award winning musical comedy Urinetown takes on corporate greed, poverty and social injustice by parodying popular musicals like Les Miserables and West Side Story. Commanded by the ruthless Caldwell B. Cladwell’s mega-corporation Urine Good Company (UGC), mandatory public pay-per-use toilets have been installed due to a severe water shortage. Offenders of the policy are cast into the mysterious and much-feared Urinetown, never to return.  Bobby Strong, an employee of UGC, becomes a local hero, rebelling against the policy and inspiring others to action. The pure and lovely Hope Cladwell, strikingly different from her father, is captured and held hostage by the rebels. Will our hero save the day and get the girl? Will the hardened Cladwell relent and save his daughter? Despite its quirky title, Urinetown touches upon the serious issues which any so-called civilized society must face.  Nominated for 10 Tony Awards, winning Best Book of a Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Director.
