Urinetown
Winner of 3 Tony Awards, including Best Original Score and Best Book of a Musical, Urinetown is a hilarious satirical comedy that takes a witty look at capitalism, bureaucracy, and musical theatre itself. Set in a dystopian future where a severe water shortage has led to a ban on private toilets, citizens must pay to use public amenities. But when one hero decides he’s had enough, a revolution is born!
We move into the theatre on May 16, 2026. The show dates for Urinetown are May 20 – 24, 2026 which includes tech week. We perform at the Les Lye Studio Theatre - Meridian Theatres @ Centrepointe
Rehearsals take place at the Nepean Creative Arts Centre on Sunday afternoons beginning the beginning of January 2026 . Rehearsals are mandatory for all days that you are scheduled. As the show prepares to open, rehearsals will increase as we perfect the show (approximately 10-14 days before opening). You must be available for all shows including technical rehearsals
