Collingswood Community Theatre will be reprising the hysterical musical comedy satire “Urinetown”
on the main stage at the Scottish Rite Auditorium on October 7, 8, 9, 15, 16.
This intelligent and extremely pertinent show was previously produced during the summer
of 2006 in the Ballroom but will move upstairs to the theatre for this fall’s production. Most of the original cast,
comprised of many of Collingswood’s finest young actors, will be back in their roles
including Tom Matousch, Bridget Coyle, Rachel Witte, Zach Wiseley, Kim Townsend, Katie Scharff, Mike Seeley and many more.
Don’t be put off by the title –
Urinetown. This is a show that won three Tony Awards. It is a truly remarkable
and utterly appropriate show that you will enjoy both in the watching AND the playing. The deeply thoughtful message of the
play concerning abuse of power, conservation of natural resources, corruption and oppression is wrapped in a deliciously anarchic
and satirical coating that appeals directly to the sensibilities. The sense of parody and affectionate satire extends to the
beautiful, yet comic score.
If you missed it the first
time, you won’t want to make the same mistake twice. Showtime is 7:30 pm with a matinee on October 16 at 2:00 pm. Tickets
are $15 for adults and $10 for students and senior citizens. All tickets can be purchased at the door. There is a discount
for groups of 15 or more. Contact Dale at dale@classicmarble.biz or by phone at 609-217-4691.
