URINETOWN, BLITHE SPIRIT & More Set for Wilton Playshop's 73rd Season

The Wilton Playshop has announced its 73rd Season which will include URINETOWN, BLITHE SPIRIT, and more.

This summer's Wilton Student Summer Playshop will be Romeo and Juliet, the timeless classic that tells the tale of the feuding Montague and Capulet families and their teenaged children, Romeo and Juliet, who have fallen in love. The star-crossed lovers hatch an ill-fated, desperate plan to be together, which will eventually bring their families together, but at much too high a price. Performances will take place on July 23, 24, 29, 30 and 31.

URINETOWN: THE MUSICAL, featuring music and lyrics by Mark Hollmann and book and lyrics by Greg Kotis will be directed by Stacie Moye with musical direction by Anna DeMasi and choreography by Marjorie Janeway.
