Burdette During WWII, six women gather at the church to roll bandages for the Red Cross and plan the church's 75th anniversary. There's Edith, the pastor's wise-cracking wife; Luby, whose son is fighting in the Pacific; Mae Ellen, the church's rebellious organist; Olene, who dreams of a career in Hollywood; Sammy, a shy newcomer with a secret; and Vera, an influential Baptist with a secret of her own. In Act 2, twenty-five years later, these women reunite again at the church with revelations that shake relationships formed over a quarter of a century. With humor and pathos, these six very different women find comfort, forgiveness and redemption in each other. ÒThis play will be compared to Steel Magnolias, but forget steel; these mountain magnolias are pure gold with humor, drama, warmth and six of the most wonderful characters you'll ever seeÓ says the Bristol Herald-Courier.

one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, 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! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt
Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is
safe from scrutiny. Humanities and Performing Arts Center 800 University Way,Spartanburg, SC 29303 Call: 864- 503-5987

Sunday, April 20, 2008 3:15 pm Shoestring Players Perform "Urinetown" Urinetown, one of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, 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! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Humanities and Performing Arts Center
