"Urinetown, the Musical"
Show Dates | Nov. 14, 15, 21, 22 at 7:30PM
& Nov. 16 at 2:00PM
Director: Jeff Crowell-Gregoire
Assistant Director: Sarah Manter
Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.
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 that he's had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!
Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.
URINETOWN Is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
URINETOWN was produced on Broadway in September, 2001 by the Araca Group and Dodger Theatricals in association with TheaterDreams, Inc., and Lauren Mitchell

Latest & Greatest
"The Laramie Project" leaves audience members in awe!
Directors Meggin Dail and Jeff Crowell-Gregoire brought a powerful story to the Scenic Theater, and the production moved audience members to laughter, tears, and outbursts of astonishment. The directors received thanks for bringing such a meaningful show to the Scenic stage, and the production was praised for its use of seamless blocking. The ten actors succeeded in bringing upwards of 60 different characters to life, each with separate accents and personalities, helped along by the costuming talents of Amy Mitchell. We are truly sad to see the curtain close on this production, and we promise to never forget the life and the tragedy of Matthew Shepard.
2nd Annual Open Mic Night|That's A Wrap!
The second annual Open Mic Night, hosted by Tech Crew Productions, LLC and The Pittsfield Players, was a success! Amazing talent graced The Scenic Theater stage, a good time was had by all, and we raised almost $3000 toward our new sound system. Thank you to all the performers who put themselves out there for the good of the theater, and thank you to our wonderful audience for supporting the local arts. Congratulations to Loose Ground, winners of the Open Mic Night talent competition!
