  • Download Urinetown Theatre Program
    From the Director Welcome to the UAH campus and thank you for joining us tonight. Now that the cold dark days of winter are fading, we are here to celebrate the coming of spring with a fun Broad- way musical. This talented and devoted cast of players, artists, directors and technicians have been toiling through the winter months to prepare this wonderful piece of theatre to share with you, our humble audience. UAH Theatre is proud to be a part of this rich artistic community and privileged to offer this creative study to our students. Please enjoy the show and be sure to tell your friends that we are here producing live theatre at Huntsville’s own University. David Harwell - Director About the Musical Winner of three Tony awards and one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, URINETOWN is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. 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 people, a hero decides he’s had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, URINETOWN is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Greg Kotis had the idea for Urinetown while traveling in Europe.

    UVA LAW | Fed Soc- Hamilton Event INTERVIEWER: Welcome, everyone, to our last event of the semester, "An Original Document For Every Song InH amilton." Today, we're honored to be joined by Judge Charles Eskridge of the US district court for the Southern District of Texas. Judge Eskridge was appointed to the bench in 2019. He also serves as an adjunct professor at the University of Houston Law Center, teaching on the origins of the Constitution and as a member of the American Law Institute. JUDGE Thank you. Thank you very much, and I'm so glad to be here and to have had the invitation to speak to the CHARLES University of Virginia. I have done this presentation on Hamilton many times at many different law schools, and I ESKRIDGE: have to say that doing it for the University of Virginia, which has obviously such a close connection to Thomas Jefferson but also geographically to James Madison and George Washington, that plays such a big role, each of them in this show, that this really does have extra meaning for me. So now, I wouldn't necessarily say that I'm obsessed withH amilton, but I was all over the soundtrack when it came out. And then-- let me get the share screen started here. And then, my wife noticed a Facebook meme that year and said it applied to me. My thoughts have been replaced by Hamilton lyrics, and it was not just a few lyrics, mind you. 20,520 words to be precise. That works out to about 140 words per minute in the show.
