Urinetown: The Musical

Music by Mark Hollmann, Lyrics by Hollmann & Greg Kotis
Directed by Sydney Brockway, Produced by Ceris Thomas, Musical Direction by Steven Morley
Contains strong language, satirical humour, mild sexual innuendo, and dark themes.
 

It’s a privilege to pee. And in this hilarious Tony-winning satire, that privilege comes at a price. In a dystopia ruled by drought and corporate greed, public toilets are the law— and rebellion smells suspiciously like revolution. Equal parts absurd, poignant, and laugh-out-loud funny, Urinetown skewers capitalism, power, and musical theatre itself. No one is safe. Not even the audience. Bring your sense of humour — and your spare change. URINETOWN is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

Shrew'd Business began in 1998 when Ceris & Brock first produced and performed their own adaptation of The Taming of the Shrew, titled Shrew'd!  This show led to other collaborations, including a variety of workshops and productions.

They have conducted classes on a wide range of topics including Dance, Music, Text Analysis, Audition Techniques, Puppetry and Stage Combat Skills involving hand-to-hand and multiple types of weaponry. They have worked with a variety of schools and theatre companies, including Western University, Rose Theatre Brampton, Lighthouse Festival Theatre,(19 shows over 16 years, Victoria Playhouse Petrolia, Renaissance and Pirate Festivals, and multiple Secondary Schools across Ontario.

They continue to offer workshops and direct/choreograph shows in and around the London, Ontario area. Shrew’d Business also owns and rents a variety of difficult to find weapons and props, such as a Sweeney Todd Shaving Kit, Inuit Harpoons, and a hand-built functional Cannon.
