| In a grim Gotham-like city
of the future, a 20-year drought is underway. As a result,
the government has banned private toiletries and the citizens
must use pay toilets regulated by a monopolistic company,
the Urine Good Company, which charges exorbitant prices. Bobby
Strong, the assistant custodian at the poorest urinal in town,
decides enough is enough. With the help of the daughter of
the CEO of the Urine Good Company, Hope Cladwell, Bobby ends
up leading a rebellion which frees the citizens. Smart, funny
lyrics and great story telling pays witty homage to the great
American musical theatre tradition. Hilariously funny and
touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective
of one of America’s greatest art forms. Urinetown was
the recipient of three 2002 Tony® Awards (Best Book, Best
Original Score, Best Direction).

You're a Good Man,
Charlie Brown
Director: Tim
Bair |
|
| |
| Charlie Brown." It really
is just that, a day made up of little moments picked from
all the days of Charlie Brown, from Valentine's Day to the
baseball season, from wild optimism to utter despair, all
mixed in with the lives of his friends (both human and non-human)
and strung together on the string of a single day, from bright
uncertain morning to hopeful starlit evening. None of the
cast is actually six years old. And they don't really look
like Charles Schulz' "Peanuts" cartoon characters.
But this doesn't seem to make that much difference once we
are into the play, because what they are saying to each other
is with the openness of that early childhood time, and the
obvious fact is that they are all really quite fond of each
other. You’re a Good Man, Charlie Brown was the recipient
of two 1999 Tony® Awards (Best Featured Actor, Best Featured
Actress).
