The Whitefish Theatre Co. presents its final cabaret show of the 2017-2018 theatre season with a sensational production of “Urinetown: The Musical” at the O’Shaughnessy Center in Whitefish.
The show opens with a sneak preview night on May 31 at 7:30 p.m. Performances continue on June 1–3 and June 7–10 at 7:30 p.m.
“Urinetown” is a fast-paced, hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, corporate mismanagement, and musical theater itself. 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 instead use public, pay-per-use amenities owned and operated by the malevolent corporation Urine Good Company or be sent to the dreaded and mysterious “Urinetown” if they don’t obey. Amid the people, a rebellious yet unsuspecting hero emerges to stage a revolt.
This production features 21 local actors and musicians, including Don Caverly as the Music Director. The show features David Blair as Officer Lockstock, Erin Grayce as Penelope Pennywise, Mikey Winn as Bobby Strong, Stuart Green as Senator Fipp, Amy Spicer as Officer Barrel, Angie Green as Hope Cladwell, and Tony Hernandez as Caldwell B. Cladwell.
Tickets are $25 for either reserved table/cabaret or theater seating. Tickets for the sneak preview on May 31 are $12 for adults and $10 for students and are available only at the door.
Food and beverages are available for purchase. Tickets can be purchased at the Box Office, 1 Central Ave., Whitefish, or by calling 862-5371.
