Based on CDC guidelines, masks are currently encouraged but not required at events, except at selected performances. This policy may change in accordance with the CDC's stated risk level for Pennington County.

Masks will be required to be worn by all people at the Sunday performances of Urinetown.  Those who have already purchased tickets can call the PACRC box office at 605-394-1786 to exchange their tickets into these performances or to another date where masks are not required, as preferred
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. A single malevolent company 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! Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire, with outrageous perspective and wickedly modern wit, in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Adult Friendly
“What's especially wonderful about Urinetown is that it's not just monumentally funny, it stands tall as a musical, with a great score and a solid propulsive book." - Dave DeChristopher

"I was just drawn to the show so much because it's just so smart and so funny and you don't always get that in musical theater. The show makes you think and makes you laugh. And, of course, I enjoy all the references to making fun of the other shows. You got some Fiddler on the Roof and some West Side Story slander, so that's very fun. And the characters are so interesting, too, and so varied."- Ryan Puffer
