Being a Part of Urinetown, The Musical

Posted September 28, 2016 in Press Releases

Urinetown, the Musical has come to a close. Congratulations to the cast and crew of Urinetown, the Musical on an amazing run. Thank you to everyone on stage, back stage, in the house, and front of house who worked on this production. And thank you to all who came to see this hilarious show.

Check out what our Urinetown cast has to say about being a part of Urinetown, the Musical.

"I’ve only been here for a short time but what I’ll take away from it is a person and a performance I will hold in my heart for the rest of my life. Before Near West Theatre I didn’t really know what it meant to be an artist as an actor. Thank you for making this one of the best experiences of my life and thank you for changing it as well."

"These people inspire me to do theatre. No words can express the love I feel for each and every one of you, so thank you for making this such a great experience."

"This place – with this new family – I knew I could be accepted as me. That’s not a luxury I get at school. I used to only feel that at home but know I know that I can be me at Near West Theatre. This cast of Urinetown has been so giving and wonderful to me."

"In every show you have ups and downs. And believe me, we did. But that’s the good thing about Near West, we get through it together. As one."

"Near West Theatre has taught me so much from learning how to be a better actress, but also teaching me how to be a better person."

"It’s a judgement free environment which not only educated people about theatre but also how to love and respect one another. Thank you, Near West, for allowing me to come here and be myself, to be comfortable and genuine to who I really am."

"The people here are so different in the best possible way."

"It’s so fun to put together amazing works of art for all to see. This was a story. An experience. A family. A home away from home."
