RPI Players Call for Directors for their 80th Season!

Troy, NY – March 31st, 2009 - The RPI Players are looking for directors 
for their mainstage productions of Urinetown by Mark Hollmann and Greg 
Kotis to be performed April 23rd, 24th, 25th, 30th and March 1st of 
2010. Performances will be held in the RPI Playhouse on 15th Street in 
Troy, NY.

"One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, URINETOWN 
is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time 
when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a 
terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year draught, 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 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. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a 
musical could be, URINETOWN catapults the “comedic romp” into the new 
millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and 
sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter." (mtishows.com)

information should contact the RPI Players Executive Committee via email 
at players at union.rpi.edu or via phone at 518-276-6503 no later than
