DAYTON, OHIO (WDTN) - The award winning Dayton Playhouse celebrates 50 years with another diverse season of quality productions. Their latest is "Urine Town."
The idea for the musical was born in the spring of 1995 when Greg Kotis, traveling in Europe, encountered pay-per-use toilets at the Luxembourg Gardens in Paris. It was then that the musical’s central idea hit him: a Gotham-like city where all the toilets were controlled by a greedy, crooked corporation with no concern for the poor, bladder-oppressed masses.
According to Kotis, the show “was created in a spirit of defiance against what’s typically offered up as stage worthy in America today.” The result is pure, hilarious and innovative entertainment. The show parodies many popular musicals and theater conventions and playfully pokes fun at itself. “Urinetown” is also rich with social commentary about the American economy, the division between rich and poor, and the way we abuse the environment we depend on.
“Urinetown: The Musical” runs Friday, February 5th through Sunday, February 21st. Shows are at 8pm on Fridays & Saturdays and at 2pm on Sundays. Tickets range in price from $10.00 to $15.00 and can be purchased by calling the Dayton Playhouse Box Office at (937) 424-8477, or go to
