Register-Pajaronian, 1/25/2018, Community Briefs: “Mount Madonna School presents Urinetown.”
WATSONVILLE — “Urinetown, The Musical” will make a splash at Mount Madonna School with three performances.
The musical is set in a dystopian “near future,” where decades of drought have led to water shortages and private toilets are outlawed. The Urine Good Company has taken control and charges people big fees to use public latrines.
On Friday and Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m., high school students will take the stage for performances at the school’s Hawks’ Nest Theater, 491 Summit Road in Watsonville.
“From a production level, the chorus is active, the music intriguing, and the dancing selective and dynamic,” said Director Sampad Kachuck. “While the subject matter engenders healthy discussion, the style asks performers to inhabit their characters boldly but to play the comedy seriously. As our country debates nationalized health care versus privatization, struggles with the economy, confronts the reality of our decreasing resources, as well as evaluating ethically whether the end justifies the means, this play’s subject material is timely.”
Tickets are available at mmsurinetown.bpt.me. Adults are $16; 18 and under are $11. All seats are reserved. Read more
