Come see some highly talented area teens and a few professional actors in a revolutionary performance featuring upbeat music, incredible dance numbers and an outrageously funny story you won't soon forget!

Winner of three Tony Awards, three Outer Critic's Circle Awards, two Lucille Lortel Awards, and two Obie Awards, URINETOWN is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system, capitalism, social irresponsibility, populism, bureaucracy, corporate mismanagement, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, URINETOWN provides a fresh perspective of one of America's greatest art forms.

URINETOWN is the result of DAPA partnering with Augustana University's Theatre Department to offer a summer camp for area high school performing arts students. Augie staff, alumni, and theatre majors help to staff the experience and serve as directors, mentor professional actors, etc. to create a college-level theatre experience for area high school students who love performing and are after a taste of what college productions are like. URINETOWN is a fully staged, fully produced full-length musical with top of line talent and exciting production values (full lights/sets/costumes) performed at Augustana.

24 area students are involved, coming from 9 different area high schools and all seasoned DAPA actors. They will perform alongside 2 DAPA directors in the production.
