 Phone: (207) 774-0465

          

Jun 01 thru Jul 01, 2012. As children, Ted and Richard don't have much in common - except for the shared desire to become classical pianists.

Urinetown - Boothbay Playhouse

275 Wiscasset Road
Boothbay, Maine 04537
 Phone: (207) 633-3379

          

Jun 28 thru Jul 14, 2012. If ever a show exemplified the saying, "never judge a book by it's title," Urinetown is that show. Nominated for 10 Tony Awards and winner of 3, it is a witty, uproariously funny, irreverent, and thoroughly entertaining toe-tapper that takes jabs at the legal system, capitalism, corrupt corporation, waste in terms of the environment and our sense of entitlement (amongst other things). Urinetown takes place in a world where a drought has caused water to be rationed to the point that there is a ban on private toilets and everyone must pay for the "privilege to pee." Love sparks between a worker at one of the filthiest low-income amenities and the wealthy daughter of the man who runs the Urine Good Company, which controls the fee-based facilities. A revolution is started, and a battle ensues between those arguing for regulated conservation of the available resources and those fighting for personal freedoms. Of course, this tale is told with generous portions of wit and wonderfully engaging songs. Shows June 28, 29, 30, July 5, 6, 7, 11, 12, 13 and 14. All shows at 8 p.m. except July 7 matinee at 2 p.m. Rehearsals begin in May. For tickets phone the box office at (207) 633-3379 or before June phone Susan at (207) 633-6309.
