Welcome to Sewickley Academy’s production of Urinetown: The Musical!
Here we are. Back in Rea Auditorium for the SS Musical! It has been a rough few years, but we have weathered the storm. We now emerge from the darkness and into the light… the stage lights! (I can just hear the cast groan from this pun…sorry, not sorry!)
We hope our little show can provide you with a brief moment of joy during these still stressful times. Afterall, that’s why we attend the theatre. To be entertained. To escape our troubles or stresses of the day. To watch someone else go through challenges, and hopefully overcome them. And maybe even to remind ourselves to take a breath, and reflect on our own struggles.
Woah, that got deep. But this also reminds me of Urinetown: The Musical. It is a show that constantly goes to extremes. There are melodramatic highs and overly emotional lows. It is in these sharp contrasts where the comedy lies. Hopefully you agree, and find yourself laughing along with us.
Ok, in an effort to keep this brief (and get it to the printer!), I will leave you with this final thought - Hope is always worth fighting for.
Thank you, and enjoy the show!
Joe Jackson
