This Weekend: Urinetown!

Mike Paulus |

Friday and Saturday, check out Urinetown: The Musical over at UW-Stout. 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. The show is at 7:30pm, and costs $12. Details.

Also on Saturday: Puddle Jump Run, School Band Thrift Sale, Annual Gem and Mineral Show, CF Downtown Cleanup, Model Train Show, Ironwoman Tournament, The Assassination of President Lincoln and Its Aftermath, Eau Claire Male Chorus, Viennese Ball, Fashion without Fabric, and Battle of the Bands.

And on Sunday: Joseph Fire Crow Concert, Rifles in the Civil War, Alice In Wonderland, and oh golly, Justin Vernon + Memorial High School Jazz.
