INDIANAPOLIS — The University of Indianapolis Department of Theatre will launch its 2014-2015 season this month with a musical tale of corruption, courage and … pay toilets?
Winner of three Tony Awards, Urinetown: The Musical opens Oct. 17 at UIndy’s Ransburg Auditorium, 1400 E. Hanna Ave.
A social satire that parodies the musical form itself, Urinetown tells the story of a Gotham-like city suffering through an extended water shortage, which prompts a ban on private toilets and forces the residents to use public facilities operated for profit by an unscrupulous company.
Performances are scheduled for 8 p.m. Oct. 17-18, 2 p.m. Oct. 19 and 8 p.m. Oct. 23-25. Tickets are $12 general admission, $10 for seniors, groups of eight or more and non-UIndy students with ID. A free preview performance is at 8 p.m. Oct. 16, and admission to the Oct. 23 show will be just $6 under the new Half-Price Second Thursday program. More information is available at (317) 788-3251 or www.uindy.edu/arts.
