Jilted by her boyfriend for a richer woman in the big city, Doña Juana discovers what she’s really made of by dressing as a man, stealing her
boyfriend’s identity, and seducing the rich woman before he can reach her. In Dalton’s free adaption of this classic, we learn that love can hurt, heal, and
kick a little ass. (Adult themes and content)
Urinetown

March 29 & 30, April 3 – 6 at 8:00pm & April 7 at 2:00pm
Director: Robert Chapel
Culbreth Theatre
Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself. In a Gotham-like city, a terrible water shortage, caused by a 20-year drought, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a single malevolent company that profits by charging admission for one of humanity’s most basic needs. Amid the chaos, a hero decides that he has had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom. (Adult content)
