Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critics Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards, Urinetown is an hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself!

Announcement for 26 Pebbles by Eric Ulloa
Following unimaginable tragedy, residents of this once idyllic small town converge in a kind of “existential community meeting.” Audience is invited to grapple alongside actors how we all move forward in the face of tremendous loss.
The specific context of this play is the 2012 Sandy Hook School shooting, but the questions it raises - and the redemption it offers- are meant for every person living in any town in America today.
Proceeds from this production will be donated to Sandy Hook Promise, a non-profit organization dedicated to providing programs and practices that protect children from gun violence.
We will be casting a genuine ensemble of 6-12 adult actors, capable of playing multiple distinct characters.
The rehearsal process will honor the seriousness of the subject matter without dwelling in sadness. We all have a need to connect and play and release, and that will be mindfully built in. This is an opportunity to “gift your gifts” to the greater good.
Auditions will be held Sunday, February 23 from 6-8 PM and Monday, February 24 from 7-9 PM.
Please sign up to audition at https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0E4DA5A923A0FF2-26pebbles
The first rehearsal and read-through will be Tuesday, March 3. There will be two rehearsals a week, likely Tuesday evenings and another time determined after reviewing actors’ conflicts. The rehearsal schedule will be set and given to you in advance of the read-through. There will be no rehearsals the week of April 18- 26. Tech week begins Monday, May 4, and the production dates are Friday, May 8 – Sunday, May 10. Please note this is Mother’s Day weekend.
