Behind the scene of Urinetown

By weeklyvolcano on January 6, 2008

Consider this a peeee view.

Tacoma Musical Playhouse is staging a Behind the Curtain! free presentation of “Urinetown”  at 7 p.m. tonight. Grab a look at the world behind the show about a New York-sorta city as it struggles with flushing issues after a 20-year drought o severe that the city government has banned all private toilets. That means citizens must use public amenities, which just happen to be regulated by a single company that charges admission.

The production goes into regular showings this week with plays running at 8 p.m. Fridays and Saturdays and at 2 p.m. on Sundays through Feb. 3.

The production takes place at the Narrows Theater located at 7116 Sixth Ave.   Tickets are $23 for adults, $21 for students, seniors and military and $16 for children 12 and under.  Student rush tickets are $16 opening weekend. Call 253-565-6867 or visit their Web site for more details. â€" Steve Dunkelberger
