Urinetown (the Musical)

The Hockomock Area YMCA Theatre Institute Presents Urinetown.

THIS EVENT IS POSTPONED UNTIL FURTHER NOTICE.
From our Performing Arts Director, Julia Paolino: “It is with an extremely heavy heart that the YMCA has made the decision to postpone this weekend’s performance of Urinetown in response to the state of emergency that has been declared regarding the coronavirus. As healthy living and social responsibility are two pillars of our organization, the YMCA believes that it is best for us to avoid gathering large groups of people together for this performance.

The show will go on and the hard work of these amazing students will be celebrated, but just at a later date. We will be working tirelessly to reschedule the performance when it is safe to do so. All those who purchased tickets already will be fully refunded beginning tomorrow. Thank you all so much for your continued support of our program and our talented students.

Our Theatre Institute actors age 15-22 invite you to Urinetown the Musical this weekend at the Marilyn Rodman Performing Arts Center! Performances are Friday, March 13th and Saturday, March 14th at 7 PM.

And yes- you read that correctly. The title is actually Urinetown!

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!
