With San Diego’s impending mandatory water rationing, consumption enforcement and “toilet-to-tap” plans, Salomon Theatre of Point Loma Nazarene University (PLNU) appears to have chosen a timely performance of “Urinetown: The Musical,” a satire written by Greg Kotis. The cast members, including Point Loma actor Greg Henninger, work together as an ensemble to tell a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love and saving the world in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. The production takes place in a Gotham-like city where a horrible water shortage — caused by drought — has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must now use public amenities, regulated by a single company that profits by charging admission. Among the citizens, a hero decides it’s time to take charge and plans a revolution to lead the others to freedom. The production will run through Saturday, May 2. Performances take place daily at 7 p.m., with matinee shows on May 2 at 3 p.m. and May 3 at 5 p.m. The show will be performed at the university’s Salomon Theatre, 3900 Lomaland Drive. General admission is $12 for all performances. Student prices are available through April 30 and may be purchased at the Cabrillo building office 206 or by phone (619) 849-2605 or (619) 849-2433. Discounts are available for groups of 10 or more. — From staff and contribution
