After a 10-year hiatus, I am again serving on the board of directors of our community theatre group. We do four shows a year, one of which is a musical. We only do family-friendly shows and stay away from anything that might not be well-known. Some board members think well-known sells tickets. I think the community is sick of R & H and our repeat of shows. I am hoping to shake things up a bit by suggesting new things. We also compete for actors with a second community theatre in town and I think the good actors would be more apt to audition for something new.
I have never seen Urinetown (gasp) and I am wondering if it is family friendly. If not, exactly what makes it not? language? sex? controversial subject matter?
Any other semi-current shows that would fit the criteria? (occasional curse words are okay as this group will change them to shoot, darn, heck, etc.)
Thanks in advance for you help.
