A play by Frank Wedekind Translated by Eric Bentley
NOVEMBER 10 - 20, Studio Theatre
Directed by Michael Stebbins Co-Presented by HCC's Theatre Arts Program and the Arts Collective
Frank Wedekind's lyrical, thoughtful, and provocative 1891 play reflects on the mysterious and complex passage from innocence to adulthood.

Urinetown
Music, Lyrics, Book by Mark Hollmann & Greg Kotis
MAY 3 - 13, Smith Theatre
Directed by Jenny Male Musical Direction by Keith Tittermary
In this smart and hilarious satire of American business, no one – and no musical theatre genre – remains unscathed. Due to a 20 year drought, the poor are forced to scrounge for pennies to pay for the privilege to pee. Bobby Strong has the courage to stand up
to a tyrannical empire, rousing the poor with musical numbers that parody
Broadway’s biggest shows. Through it all, the people fight for love, justice,
and the enduring hope of peeing free. Urinetown won 3 Tony Awards in 2002.
SHOWTIMES: 2 Weekends! Thurs, Fri, Sat at 8pm, Sat & Sun at 3pm
Special Events:
- Pay-What-You-Can Daytime Performance: Friday, May 11, 1pm
