Oswego, NY — SUNY Oswego’s presentation of “Urinetown: The Musical” gives its audiences a satire about the legal system, corporate greed, and pay toilets. The college’s spring musical continues to take the stage at 7:30 P.M. Thursday and Friday, April 26 and 27, with a matinee finale at 2 P.M. Saturday, April 28. SUNY Oswego student and assistant director, Wyatt Gilbert, says its a musical that deals with a moral issue of what’s best for society. “It’s about water shortage and what is going on in our government. UGC has decided that in order to control the poor, they are going to charge them to use the public restrooms.” Gilbert said one of the biggest challenges to bringing the script to life is was finding a balance between which characters each actor could play. Many of the actors are double cast, so they may be poor in one scene and a UGC employee in the next. One of the lead roles, Bobby Strong, is played by Seth Prevratil. Prevratil says that the cast has come a long way since their first read through of the script. He says it’s been a challenging but rewarding experience and encourages everyone in the community to come see the show.
