Newspaper Page Text10A February 19, 2016 Seaside Signal seasidesignal.com SHS prepares to open musical ‘Urinetown’ English teacher takes over as director for spring productions By Katherine Lacaze Seaside Signal Seaside High School’s spring musical “Urinetown,” a satirical comedy, explores socially relevant themes and simultaneously celebrates and pokes fun at musical theater itself. The play opens Friday, Feb. 26, at 7:30 p.m. and will be performed through March 5 at the high school’s audito- rium. “The whole point of the show, is it’s about sustain- ability and choosing a way of thinking and a way of life that is moderate,” said LeeAnn Schmelzenbach, the director and an English teacher at the high school. The play also ex- amines the idea that “all mu- sicals are ridiculous and awe- some.” Originally produced in 2001, the play features many styles of music, including jazz, contemporary and tra- ditional Broadway showcase. Greg Kotis wrote the script and Mark Hollmann produced the music, with lyrics by Holl- mann and Kotis. The plot centers on the fu- turistic, dystopian city, Urine- town, where people must pay to use public toilets because of a 20-year drought and a ban on private toilets. The Urine Good Company holds a mo- nopoly over the enterprise of public amenities, including toilets. A young hero, observ- ing the inequity between the rich and poor, leads a rebel- lion, assisted by a character symbolically named Hope. Although parents may be wary of the title, the show is family-friendly — no swear- ing or gambling, drugs and al- cohol references. Some of the themes — such as the satirical critique of greed, the legal system, populism, bureaucra- SUSAN BAERTLEIN/SUBMITTED PHOTO Seaside High School’s theater students are preparing to open their spring musical, “Urinetown,” on Feb. 26.

The cast includes 27 stu- D EL ’S O .K . dents, and about 12 to 15 ad- ditional students for tech and makeup. For the third year, Vanessa Rush, who teaches music and choir, is the mu- sical director. Rich Small is overseeing choreography. The show will be accompanied by a live band. Schmelzenbach is directing the musical in place of Head Secretary Lenore Morrisson, who has directed both the spring and fall plays for the past 11 years. Morrisson will still assist with the produc- tion by overseeing costumes, set, props, lighting and other technical aspects. Schmelzen- bach also is assisted by senior Joseph Harkins, who wanted to step off the stage and help direct this semester.

The goal is to split the high school’s theatrical productions between two people, so neither gets burned out. Schmelzen- bach anticipates directing the spring musicals for a while. “I’m going to do it until I can’t do it anymore,” she said, adding she’s already started sifting through ideas for next year, which shows she has “bought into this idea of di- recting.” Although Schmelzenbach has not directed before, this experience has shown she has the ability and skill set to do so.

Work Wanted 50 Professional Services “Urinetown” by her best friend from college, who said he had the most fun acting while do- ing that show. When she read it, she was drawn to its dark- er humor and satire. She also liked that this was something new for the high school. “The deciding factor is that it requires a large cast,” she said. “That really made me excited about it. In high school, theater is supposed to be an experience everyone can enjoy, and I think that’s really true of this show.” Instead of having one star, eight people share the lead. The cast — which features two exchange students, 17 se- niors and several new students — fell into place smoothly fol- lowing auditions in mid-De- cember, Schmelzenbach said. “Most of the kids are in choir or band, and that really plays to our advantage,” Mor- risson said. Using her skills as an En- glish teacher, Schmelzenbach alerted her cast members to the metaphors, wordplay and other literary devices that make the play so rich. “It makes the show more interesting to them,” Schmel- zenbach said. She said she is encour- aged by the individual ideas and creativity students bring to their characters during re- hearsal. For more information about the show, contact the high school by calling 503- 738-5586. The high school is located at 1901 N. Holla- day Drive. Tickets are $8 for adults, $6 for senior citizens and students and $4 for high school students with their As- sociated Student Body card and elementary students. 61 Bankruptcy 70 Help Wanted 70 Help Wanted BANKRUPTCY $275 26 Years Experience.
