I Love You, You're Perfect, Now Change

revue about everything you have ever secretly thought about dating,
romance, lovers, marriage, husbands, wives and in-laws, but were afraid
to admit. FYI (a bit of trivia): There have been many audience

Theater Spotlight On:
Urinetown
A terrible water shortage has crippled a Gotham-like town. The government
has outlawed the use of private toilets in a mad attempt to regulate
water consumption. The citizenry must use public, pay-for-use amenities.
Anyone who refuses to pay to pee is immediately and without question
hauled off to Urinetown. What is Urinetown? Nobody knows
for
those who are sent there are never heard from again. But it's really
a love story and there's a revolution ALL before the end of Act I.
