SUMMARY:Urinetown: The Musical
DESCRIPTION:April 27-30\, 2023 (Thursday-Saturday\, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday 2 p.m.)\nMaddox Theatre\, Clark Arts Center\nGuest Director\, Stephen Schellhardt \nWinner of three Tony Awards\, three Outer Critics Circle Awards\, two Lucille Lortel Awards and two Obie Awards\, Urinetown is a hilarious musical satire of the legal system\, capitalism\, social irresponsibility\, populism\, bureaucracy\, corporate mismanagement\, municipal politics and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest\, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America’s greatest art forms. \nIn a Gotham-like city\, a terrible water shortage\, caused by a 20-year drought\, has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The citizens must use public amenities\, regulated by a single malevolent company that 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! \nInspired 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.

SUMMARY:The Importance of Being Earnest
DESCRIPTION:February 23 – 26\, 2023 (Thursday-Saturday\, 7:30 pm; Sunday 2 pm)\nMaddox Theatre\, Clark Arts Center\nDirector\, Prof. Deborah Mogford\nWilde referred to this play as “a trivial comedy for serious people.” This is a farcical comedy with witty\, quick paced dialogue and situations dealing with love\, lovers\, mistaken identity\, an outrageous parent\, and a host of unusual comic characters. This is one of Oscar Wilde’s enduring plays.

SUMMARY:The Beaux’ Stratagem
DESCRIPTION:The Beaux’ Stratagem (play)\nNovember\, 18 – 21\, 2021 (Thursday-Saturday\, 7:30 p.m.; Sunday 2 p.m.)\nMaddox Theatre\, Clark Arts Center\nDirector\, Prof. Deborah Mogford \nThornton Wilder and Ken Ludwig’s adaptation of George Farquhar classic 18th century farce\, The Beaux’ Stratagem\, tells the tale of Aimwell and Archer\, two charming\, dissolute young men who have spent their fortunes carousing in London. Now shamed and debt-ridden\, they flee to provincial Lichfield. They decide the only way to recover their wealth is to marry for money. They take rooms at the local inn posing as master and servant. While in town they encounter the young\, beautiful\, wealthy\, and perceptive Dorinda and Mrs. Sullen. Will the Beaux\, Aimwell\, and Archer\, succeed in their stratagem? That remains to be seen because here in this seemly gentle countryside they encounter a teeming variety of human obstacles to their marriage plans: a crooked landlord\, a fearsome highwayman\, a fervent French Count\, a maid on the make\, a drunken husband\, a furious butler\, a natural healer of dubious abilities\, and a strange\, turbulent priest. Maybe\, if they can survive the misunderstandings\, mistaken identities\, and masterly sword play they may attain both wealth and love. \nFor a list of all our performances please visit the Performing Arts webpage. https://www.rockford.edu/artslectures/performingarts/\nFor tickets\, call the Rockford University Box Office at (815) 226-4100.
