The Dirt

Davis High School Presents Urinetown—The Musical!
2026-03-14 19:00 - 21:00, 2026-03-15 14:00 - 16:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Richard Brunelle Performance Hall, 315 W 14th Street, Davis, CA, 95616, United States
Urinetown: The Musical
Set in a grim, Gotham-like city ravaged by a 20-year drought, Urinetown imagines a world where private toilets are outlawed. Citizens must pay to use public restrooms, all controlled by a single, corrupt corporation that profits off one of humanity’s most basic needs. When an unlikely hero decides he’s had enough, a rebellion is born—one that challenges authority, exposes hypocrisy, and asks what freedom really costs.
Hilariously funny and touchingly human, Urinetown reexamines the very notion of what a musical can be, proving that even in the darkest circumstances, revolution can begin with a laugh—or a pee.
