Orphan Girl Community Theatre announces its auditions for Urinetown the Musical directed by Mike Verdon of the Brewery Follies!

Urinetown is an hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! In a Gotham-like city, 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!

Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny.

Auditions are for ages 7 and up ** and will be held February 2nd between Noon and 5pm at the Orphan Girl Theatre. If callbacks are needed they will be from 6 to 8 pm at the Orphan Girl Theatre.
