2023-2024 Season
Urinetown: The Musical
March 29 through April 7, 2024
Doors at 6:30p | Show begins 7:00p
Coconino Center for the Arts
Winner of 3 Tony Awards, 3 Outer Critics Circle Awards, 2 Lucille Lortel Awards and 2 Obie Awards, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself!
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 that 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. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown provides a hilariously funny and touchingly honest perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.
URINETOWN is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

White Dove Coffee
Based on the hit 1996 film, The Spitfire Grill is a heartwarming and inspirational musical tale of redemption, perseverance, and family. A troubled young parolee yearning for a fresh start follows her dreams to Wisconsin, based on a page she found in an old travel book - only to find a small town with a gritty heart aching with longing and regret. Unexpectedly discovering the healing power of community while working at the Spitfire Grill, Percy reawakens the entire town's capacity for rebirth, forgiveness, and hope.
This audience-immersive production takes place in a real-life restaurant & coffee shop: White Dove Coffee, right here in our hometown of Flagstaff, AZ. Set to a melodic folk-inspired score played by live musicians, The Spitfire Grill is a joyous celebration of human kindness.
