>> 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!
