A.C.A.N.Y.’s Fall 2025 Off-Broadway Main-Stage Production: URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL!

Actors Age 12 – 20 (Email us for an Age Exception) 

Students ages 12 & 13 may also audition for our Junior Off-Broadway Production of Disney’s Descendants: The Musical. We’ll cast you where you fit best!

Synopsis
URINETOWN is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms.

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 that he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Music Director: James Stryska
