Arts Alliance presents Urinetown! A musical comedy about a people's rebellion for the right to pee!

This spring, for one weekend only in June, Arts Alliance presents Urinetown the Musical in an outdoor location on campus! Urinetown is a musical-comedy in the not-so-distant future in which a water shortage forces people to pay for the privilege to pee. The musical follows Bobby Strong as he leads a rebellion against the UGC for the right to pee. A collaborative megamusical, Urinetown is co-directed by Delia Cunningham and Autumn Thelander and co-produced by Lucy Harrington and Gillian Finnegan. We are thrilled to bring an incredibly talented group of actors together in-person, outdoors, fully masked, and socially distanced this spring, for what will be the first live and in-person production at Northwestern since last year! The show will be performed live and there will be a small in-person audience in addition to a livestream.

Arts Alliance creates art that reflects, deepens, and challenges the greater Northwestern community. We provide a positive atmosphere in which students can learn and work alongside a committed and supportive board to create professional-quality productions. Each season we commit to producing work that fulfills the three pillars of our mission statement: Art that is Easy to Reach: we are committed to catering to our community’s financial and physical needs to allow everyone to enter our spaces comfortably. Art that is Easy to Speak with: we strive to create art that can provide language to spark challenging conversations and the space in which those productive dialogues can occur. Art that is Easy to Relate to: we are dedicated to telling resonant human stories, uplifting diverse voices and perspectives, and practicing inclusivity in our processes and products.
