Aurora Community Theatre Audition Announcement for: Urinetown: The Musical music by Mark Hollmann, lyrics by Hollmann and Greg Kotis, and book by Kotis ------------------------------ URINETOWN is a hilarious and resonating tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. It is a social and political satire set in a fictional future where a terrible 20-year drought has crippled the city’s water supplies. Water is so scarce that the government enforces a ban on all private toilets in an effort to control water consumption. Citizens who try to circumvent the peeing-fee by relieving themselves in the bushes, risk being taken away to “Urinetown”, a mysterious place where many have been sent but no one ever returns... URINETOWN is above all a parody and a comedy. In essence characters are seriously silly or more accurately, earnestly, seriously silly!! Notwithstanding this description, it is imperative to make the character as believable as possible. Indeed, this is the comedy of the show. ------------------------------ Directed and Choreographed by Marc C. Howard Music Direction by D.
