Winner 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, environmental collapse, privatization of natural resources, bureaucracy, municipal politics, and musical theatre itself! Hilariously funny and touchingly honest, Urinetown provides a fresh perspective on one of America's greatest art forms.

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 that 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.

"Quality Instruction in an Encouraging Environment"

Myrtle Beach ACT is a teaching theatre serving students ages 5–18. Throughout the year, MBACT offers classes in acting, singing, dance, and musical theatre, as well as production-based programs that culminate in live performances.

Students develop skills in performance, vocal technique, choreography, acting, teamwork, and stage presence while also gaining exposure to the many behind-the-scenes elements of theatre, including costumes, sets, and production design. Our goal is to help students build confidence, creativity, and a lifelong appreciation for the performing arts.

In addition to classes and productions, MBACT annually takes a select group of performers to the Junior Theater Festival in Atlanta, where students have the opportunity to learn from industry professionals and represent our organization on a national stage. We also offer week-long musical theatre camps throughout the summer for students of all experience levels.

Whether your child is brand new to the stage or looking to further develop their skills, MBACT provides a supportive environment where young performers can learn, grow, and shine.
