“Urinetown,” Footlite Musicals’ sidesplitting musical about greed, love and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold, opens Friday at Hedback Community Theater.
Staged 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. Citizens must use public rest rooms 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 that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom.
Additional show dates are Aug. 15, 16 and 20-23. Curtain times for the all-teen production are 7:30 p.m. Thursday-Saturday, 2:30 p.m. Sunday at 1847 Alabama St. Tickets, $15 for youths 17 and under, $23 for adults, can be reserved by calling 926-6630; $10 seats are available for the Aug. 16 and 20 shows.
In celebration of the theater’s 60th anniversary, a special dinner will be hosted Sept. 12, with an open house the following day. Info: www.footlite.org/.
