Urinetown by Mark Hollmann & Greg Kotis

Directed by Jeremiah Reid

In the not-so-distant future, a terrible water shortage and 20-year drought has led to a government ban on private toilets and a proliferation of paid public toilets, owned and operated by a single megalomaniac company: the Urine Good Company. If the poor don’t obey the strict laws prohibiting free urination, they’ll be sent to the dreaded and mysterious “Urinetown.” After too long under the heel of the malevolent Caldwell B. Cladwell, the poor stage a revolt, led by a brave young hero, fighting tooth and nail for the freedom to pee “wherever you like, whenever you like, for as long as you like, and with whomever you like.” A brilliant satire, Urinetown is a wickedly funny, fast-paced, and surprisingly intelligent comedic romp.

Tickets: General $20    Students/Seniors/Military: $15

Performance Dates:

  • September 18-20 @ 7:30
  • September 20-21 @ 2:00

Into the Woods is a 1986 musical, music and lyrics by Stephen Sondheim and book by James Lapine, that intertwines the plots of several Brothers Grimm fairy tales, such as “Little Red Riding Hood”, “Jack and the Beanstalk”, “Rapunzel”, & “Cinderella”, exploring the consequences of the characters’ wishes and quests.The musical is tied together by a story involving a childless baker and his wife and their quest to begin a family, their interaction with a witch who has placed a curse on them, and encounters with other storybook characters during their journey. The show covers multiple themes: growing up, parents and children, accepting responsibility, morality, and finally, wish fulfillment and its consequences.

Please consider a donation to Magnolia Arts Center. Producing a theater season is costly since the royalties for each show must be paid in full before we advertise or promote the show. The royalty total for the 2025 season is approximately $13,000. Maintaining the building continues to present financial challenges. We currently need to repair a leaky roof and update the sinks in the concession area and dressing room. MAC’s electric bill runs about $800-$900 monthly.
