> 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 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 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.

>  Any persons interested in musically directing this show, or would like
> more 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
> Friday December 5. Please submit a theater resume and three references
> (preferably ahead of time, by e-mail). The RPI Players Executive Committee
> will contact you about an interview time, and any additional resources we
> may need.
>
> The RPI Players is a student run community theatre on the campus of
> Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute. While RPI students are the primary
> participants in the organization, auditions and production roles are open to
> all community members.  We look forward to hearing from a variety of
> talented musical directors!
