 Urinetown, a musical-comedy satire by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis, has played to critical and popular success for a decade.

An earnest fable of love, greed and revolution set in a town plagued by drought, the plot is complete with villain, hero and romance.

A malevolent corporation controls the town's public amenities; the president's daughter falls for the leader of the “go-for-free” rebellion.

This award-winning musical takes a timely and gleefully mocking look at unthinking pursuit of profit and mismanagement of natural resources. Urinetown is outrageous fun, bad title and all!

Urinetown, directed by Shileah Corey, involves a cast of 38 talented actors, ages 13-19.

Performances will be August 21 at 2 and 7 p.m. and August 22 at 2 p.m. Tickets are $5 and can be purchased at the door.

All performances are at Edmonds Heights (Former Woodway High School site), 23200 100th Ave W., Edmonds.
