What is Urinetown?

One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. 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 he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom!

Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the "comedic romp" into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective and wickedly modern wit.

Sponsorships are now available for Les Miserables. With more than 2000 people expected to see this show (our largest attendance figure ever) you will be able to reach more people than ever before with a CenterStage sponsorship.

The summer camp schedule for CenterStage has been announced. You can click here to view the full schedule as well as registration info. This year we will be offering camps in Boulder and Louisville.

Camps are available for ages 7-14 and include various musical theatre camps as well as a one-act camp.  

Would you like to make your donation  to CenterStage Theatre Company go twice as far? Take a page from one of our CenterStage families and ask your company to match it. That's exactly what they did when they made a generous donation to CSTC and asked one of their employers, Ball Corporation, to match it 1:1.

Your donations allow us to support quality live theatre including the purchase of royalties, the rental of performance space and replacement of microphones.

We have an opportunity for a  Les Miserables promotional display, for the entire month of April, in the front window of the First Community Bank on Main Street in Louisville.

So since we have so many creative people involved with CenterStage, we want to turn the design over to you in our display contest! All CenterStage families (including parents and children) are eligible to submit a design. The winner of this contest will receive two tickets to Les Miserables as well as a mention in the production program.

The winner will have a display budget of $40 plus access to CSTC available props and costumes not already used for Les Mis. Submit your designs to info@centerstagetheatrecompany.org or mail to: CSTC, 1153 Hillside Ct, Louisville, CO 80027. Designs must be submitted by February 29, 2008.
