Yes, you read that title right… Napoleon Musical is proud to present URINETOWN: the Musical! Our incredibly talented students in the cast and crew have been hard at work for several weeks, and are excited to open the show next weekend. We’d love to see you there! Show times: Friday 2/14 and Saturday 2/15, 7:00 PM Sunday, 2/16, 2:00 PM Tickets: $10 for adults, $5 for students *Please note that this is a PG-13 show* So what is this show about? 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! 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.

We know everyone wants our student's or parent's as they meet their child at the bus stop to be safe. Here is your refresher course: Yellow blinking lights mean the driver is preparing to stop to drop off a student. Red blinking lights mean a CHILD is unloading and possibly crossing the road. Our drivers see students and adults run our lights daily! Don’t let this be you or your young driver. If you are the parents of young drivers, please explain to them what the yellow blinking lights and red blinking lights on a school bus mean. We do our best to be punctual while maintaining the safety of our students. Students should also be at the appropriate area by at least 5 minutes before their scheduled pickup time. Weather, traffic, driver absenteeism, maintenance difficulties, and unforeseen incidents are often responsible if there is a delay in the arrival of school buses in the morning or afternoon. On the rare occasion that any of these things occur we will do our best to keep families informed. Your patience is appreciated. Our transportation team works tirelessly to ensure that routes are timely, efficient, and safe for our students. We appreciate your support. Go Pirates!
