"Aida"
Our Fall Main Stage Presentation
Aida! Soars with music, humour and life! A love story with a twist.
November 18, 19, 25, 26, December 2, 3 at 8:00 p.m.

Elton John and Tim Rice’s AIDA is a contemporary musical take on Verdi’s grand classic tale of the love between Radames, an Egyptian commander and Aida, an enslaved Nubian princess – a love that condemns them to death, but ultimately rises above the vast racial and cultural differences between their two warring nations.
Glorious pop anthems by Elton John. The Detroit Free Press
Rice’s soulful lyrics are a perfect complement to John’s luscious melodies. Time Magazine

"Urinetown"
Breathtakingly smart...despite its awful title...a perfect-pitch-parody...makes everyone happy...Austin Chronicle
Presented by Stage 3 The Young Company
March 2, 3, 9 and 10 at 8:00 p.m.
March 4 at 2:00 p.m., 2012
Tickets are $8 for students, $12 for adults. Tickets can be purchased at the door or in advance by calling 905-541-3645.
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 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 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.
“Urinetown” like “The Producers” fearlessly goes wherever a joke may be lurking...Michael Bracken, Theatre Reviews Limited
Performances will be held at the Theatre Ancaster Auditorium
in the West Wing of Ancaster
High School, 374 Jerseyville Rd West at Meadowbrook. |
