Princeton Day School Upper School students are set to present their winter musical, Urinetown.
Urinetown takes place during a decades-long drought which has caused water to be a precious commodity. The strain on resources leads to a world in which private toilets are no more, and the public must pay to use the restroom.
Narrated by a policeman named Officer Lockstock, along with pigtailed Little Sally, Urinetown follows Bobby Strong, a public amenity employee who dares to ask, “what if the law is wrong?” Seeing the plight of those around him as they struggle to come up with the funds to use the pay-per-use toilets, Bobby starts a revolution by letting customers in for free and standing up to greedy businessman Caldwell B. Cladwell. During his journey, he meets the woman of his dreams, who happens to be Cladwell’s daughter, Hope.
The show is appropriate for audiences ages 12 and up.
Performance are scheduled for 7:30 p.m. Feb. 20 and 21; 2 p.m. Feb. 22.; and 8 p.m. Feb. 22 at the McAneny Theater on PDS campus, 650 Great Road, Princeton.
Tickets are $15 for adults and $10 for students
