Social Event: Urinetown
Please join us on Thursday, May 1st at 8pm at the Don Powell Theater on campus to see “a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, and love, in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. In a Gotham-like city, a water shortage has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities, regulated by a malevolent company that charges for one of humanity's basic needs. A hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! An outrageous perspective and wickedly modern wit that's sure to produce gales of laughter.” Tickets are $13, but we can get a group rate of $8 if we have 10 or more going. So spread the word about this social event! RSVP to hlaperle@mail.sdsu.edu by April 22th.
