"Urinetown" The Musical @ Studio 58
2020-02-12 19:00 - 22:00 | Studio 58 @ Langara College, 100 W 49th Ave, Vancouver, BC, Canada
We’re heading out for a fun night on the town to watch “Urinetown” presented by Studio 58, Langara College’s professional theatre training program.
About “Urinetown”: In a city gripped by a severe drought, a large corporation holds a monopoly on all toilets and citizens must pay to pee! Heroic Bobby Strong incites the masses to revolt in this Tony Award-winning musical satire about capitalist greed, environmental catastrophe, and hope.
This outing will give Pathfinders a chance to visit the Langara post-secondary campus, explore themes of urban development and climate change, and enjoy a wonderful musical!
We will be meeting at the corner of 49th Ave and Manitoba Street, on the north side of the street, and walking into campus together. Note the slightly later meeting time, as the show starts at 8 pm.
This event costs $18 to attend. Talk to a Guider about using Cookie Cash. Forms are available here Forms and payment are due back to the unit no later than Wednesday January 29. Uniforms are mandatory for this fun public outing.
