'Urine' for a treat

TAMWORTH — The Barnstormers Theatre in Tamworth is finishing its 85th season with "Urinetown: The Musical," a Tony Award-winning satire of politics and capitalism run amok.

"Urinetown" — which runs daily, except Sunday and Monday, through Aug. 29 — is set in a desolate future in which, following a drought, private toilets are banned. Urine Good Co. regulates a costly public bathroom fee, and has bought off politicians and the police to remove anyone who doesn't pay.
