Hilhi Theatre performs Urinetown The Musical on March 6, 7, 13, and 14 at 7 p.m., with matinee performances March 7 and 14 at 2 p.m. 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! This is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theater itself. Tickets are $10 for Hilhi students, $13 for seniors and youth, and $15 for adults.
