‘Urinetown’
THIS Weekend: May 23-25
8 p.m.
May 26th
3 p.m.
Lucas Theatre, 32 Abercorn St., Savannah, Georgia
One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, “Urinetown” is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love and revolution in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. 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 hero decides he’s had enough and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom. Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, “Urinetown” is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, “Urinetown” catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.
General admission is $25. Senior, student or military admission is $10, and $5 with SCAD ID.
The production is free with SCAD ID on Thursday, May 23.

Art Fort 321
Started by:
James Franks McGimsey (B.F.A., Industrial Design, 2006)
Art Fort 321 provokes the creative minds of both students and artists in an atmosphere of unique beauty and resources.
Art Fort 321 is a project that has always been a dream of any artist I know. The ability to create a complete world supported by, developed by, facilitating both the intellectual and financial side of an artist’s life so that an artist may live, work, and succeed at what they love to do. This opportunity has arisen by the kindness of a benefactor that has a dream too. He wants to open his property up to artists allowing use of his land and facilities which include a building designated for wood working and metals, another for potential screen printing and painting, a building completely designated for showing art, teaching children’s art classes, and allowing for community based clubs such as an artifact club, build-your-own-boat club, and a gaming club. There are also two possible housing areas for artist residencies.The goal of Art Fort 321 is to facilitate life long learning and success in all things creative for people of all ages. A place where creativity is king whether it be visual, auditory, emotional, physical, or intellectual.
