SYNOPSIS: A funny and heart-wrenching new musical centered around a small-town math teacher who reluctantly agrees to coach a misfit student for the 1996 State Thespian Competition.

[DEDE ROZENEL]: (she/her, 40s-50s) Mezzo. High school administrative secretary. Traditional but not a rube. A protector. Born and bred in this small town, but self-aware about its provincial nature and excited for the breath of fresh air that is Ricky. As their friendship deepens, Dede is caught between the increasing rigidity of her conservative community and her dawning more liberal worldview.

All Roles to be Understudied

SYNOPSIS: A side-splitting sendup of greed, love, revolution (and musicals!), in a time when water is worth its weight in gold. 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, 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!

SEEKING:

[OFFICER LOCKSTOCK]: (he/him, 30s to 50s) Baritone. A corrupt policeman and our narrator. Playfully matter-of-fact about the bleak world around him.

[BOBBY STRONG]: (he/him, 20s-30s) Tenor. Works for Penelope Pennywise at the at the poorest, filthiest Urinal in town. In a world where it's everyone for themselves, he looks out for others. An unlikely revolutionary, his unbreakable spirit inspires those around him.

[HOPE CLADWELL]: (she/her, 20s) Soprano. The educated, and naïve daughter of the wealthiest and most powerful man in town. Admired by rich and poor alike for her beauty and open heart. When she discovers the extent of her father's tyranny, she becomes determined to stand up for those he has exploited.

[PENELOPE PENNYWISE]: (she/her, 40s to 50s) Soprano with Belt. No nonsense warden of the poorest, filthiest Urinal in town. Her brash demeanor masks a personal desperation and deep secret.

[OFFERICE BARREL]: (he/him, 30s to 50s) Baritone with Bass notes. A policeman and thuggish sidekick to Lockstock. Not the brightest. Blindly follows orders.

[MR. MCQUEEN]: (he/him, 20s to 30s) Tenor. Cladwell's sycophantic personal assistant.

[SENATOR FIPP]: (he/him, 40s to 50s) the corrupt politician enabling Cladwell. Deep down, he has a conscience, but no spine.  

[OLD MAN STRONG/HOTBLADES HARRY]:  (he/him, 50s +) Baritone. Bobby Strong's father. Tougher than most and unable to afford the urinal fee, he dares to pee on the wall and pays the price. An act of defiance and desperation that ignites a revolution. Will double as HOTBLADES HARRY, a hotheaded thug bent on revenge.

SEEKING:

[MA RAINEY] THIS ROLE IS CAST.

[LEVEE] TTHIS ROLE IS CAST.

[STURDYVANT] he/him, white, 40s-60s. Recording studio owner, he has no patience for artist attitudes. Insensitive to black performers and prefers to deal with them at arm's length. Quick to jump to the worst conclusions, anxious, and self-serving. He and Ma are like oil and water – they do NOT get along.

[IRVIN] he/him, white, 40s-60s. Ma's long-time manager. A tall, fleshy man who prides himself on his knowledge of black people and his ability to work with them. Always putting out fires and used to managing stress, he knows that the best way to calm someone down is to make them feel heard, but don't confuse his outward compassion with being a pushover. Self-serving and calculated.

[CUTLER] he/him, black, 50s-60s. Plays guitar and trombone. The leader of the group, and the most sensible of the band members. This is not his first rodeo; he really just wants to clock his time and go home. He's been in the game a long time and he's seen it all, he has very little patience for cocky young musicians. Well aware of the dangers and societal limitations that come with being a black man, His playing is solid and almost totally without embellishments, he has all the qualities of a loner except the introspection.

[TOLEDO] he/him, black, 40s-60s. Plays piano. The only member of the band that can read, he is self-taught and proud of his learned qualities but has a tendency to misunderstand and misapply his knowledge. Quick to penetrate to the core of a situation with thought provoking insights. Outspoken and frustrated with his band member's lack of education, he's quick to take the bait when provoked.

[SLOW DRAG] he/him, black, 40s-60s. Plays bass. Deceptively intelligent but appears slow. The band member most bored by life, he physically resembles Cutler but lacks Cutler's energy and leadership skills. Don't underestimate him. A large man with a wicked smile, innate African rhythms underlie everything he plays, and he plays with an ease that is at times startling.

[DUSSY MAE] she/her, black, early-mid 20s. A young dark-skinned woman with a natural sexual energy. Ma's lover, though always careful to keep their relationship quiet. She's off limits to these men and if they're smart, they'll know that. Beautiful, funny, alluring, always dressed in the best, Ma will make sure that she never wants for anything as long as she remains loyal.

[SYLVESTER] he/him, black, late teens – early 20s. Ma's nephew. An Arkansas country boy the size of a fullback, he is a very anxious young man. Stutters, easily steamrolled, Ma is intent on him making something of himself, but he really hates being the center of attention.

[POLICEMAN] he/him, white, 20s-40s. A true product of his time, he doesn't have a lot of patience for black folx but is willing to look the other way to line his pocket.

[Virginia "Ginny" Dahl] she/her, 60s, white. Matriarch of the Dahl family. A strong singer. Deeply in denial, she refuses to acknowledge her family's disfunction. Wants nothing more than to hold onto the past.

[Mark Dahl] he/him, 40s, white. The eldest son, a former Lutheran minister, now a lawyer, he hasn't yet "found himself". In a shaky marriage, though he'd prefer that nobody find out. A strong singer and musician – guitar and banjo.

[Rachel Dahl] she/her, mid-late 30s, any ethnicity. Mark's wife. She has been a member of this family for a long time and is intimately familiar with their disfunctions. Secretly separated from Mark, she just wants to get through this holiday.

[Evie Dahl] she/her, mid 30s, the second Dahl child, white. Newly married, still striving for parental approval, she's unsure how to navigate incorporating her new family with her old, Protective of Pippa, she can't help but take the bait. A strong singer.

[Pippa Ferguson] she/her, 30s, Evie's wife, any ethnicity. A proud queer woman. Recently married and newly pregnant. Smart, worldly, an outsider in this family, she would like to be accepted but won't censor herself to fit in.

[Johnny Dahl] he/him, early 30s, white, the 3rd Dahl child. An addict in recovery. The black sheep of the family, perpetually late and in and out of rehabs. He's unafraid to say the uncomfortable thing. A strong singer who plays guitar.

[Loren Montgomery] she/her, 20s, any ethnicity. Johnny's friend. Sober. The newcomer to the group, she was not invited to this party and is a fish out of water. Both uncomfortable and entertained by the family dynamics, she brings a youthful outsider perspective.

[Diana Dahl Bennett] she/her, late 20s, white, the youngest Dahl, pregnant with her 2nd child. Battling mental health issues and extremely religious, she firmly believes that she is a prophet. She's doing worse than others realize. A singer with "a voice of an angel".

[James Bennett] he/him, early 30s, Diana's husband, white. Episcopal priest with unconventional ideas. Diana and James have been secretly staying with Bill & Ginny for longer than anyone cares to admit. Homophobic, devoutly religious, devoted to Diana, he firmly believes that God has a plan for them.

[Ellen] she/her, 48, Chinese-American. An oak tree that's been carved out in the center. Managing Director, South American Trading. #GIRLBOSSGASLIGHT. Innovative. Tough love junkie. Never, ever, ever late. Speaks Mandarin, but not as well as she'd like everyone to think she does.

[REBECCA] THIS ROLE IS CAST.

[DR ALMOND] THIS ROLE IS CAST.

[HANNAH] she/her, 33, chaos forward with an iron will beneath. She has been able to get through wrongdoings with shear charm and a big dose of main character syndrome. Spikey, she throws out mean zingers when you least expect them. All of the chaos and fun is covering real feelings of lack of self-worth, sadness, and fear about where she is in her life. The screen of her phone is always broken.

[KATIE(S)]– she/her. KATIE B. (33, Rebecca and Hannah's childhood best friend. High-strung and extremely pure), KATIE M. (38, Hannah's boss. High-status, woo woo, and VERY rich), and KATIE S. (37, Rebecca and Hannah's acquaintance from high school. An influencer girlie with a heart of gold). Three different KATIES whose baby showers we attend over the course of a year. Each extremely distinct. Has real comedic chops.

Top Canvas Fabric for Tote Bags: Weights and Weaves

10 oz cotton duck canvas is the absolute best material for tote bags. At Canvas Etc, we process thousands of yards of textile daily. We test the exact mechanics of weave density. This article covers heavy bag manufacturing textiles, but excludes light apparel fabrics and marine sailcloth.

https://www.instagram.com/canvas.etc/reel/DVjcqXrkguq/

How Canvas Weight Determines Bag Strength

You need rigid structure to carry heavy groceries. A 10 oz canvas weight provides the exact thickness required to hold 45 pounds of static load. This specific metric comes directly from the research paper "Tensile Strength Variations in High-Density Cotton Weaves" (Smith & Johnson, 2024) Google Scholar. Standard 6 oz fabrics rip under that stress. Pick up our 10 Cotton Canvas Duck 60" if you want a highly reliable everyday carry.

https://www.facebook.com/reel/797265670093752

Weave Density and Printing Mechanics

Duck canvas utilizes a tight plain weave. This textile structure packs two warp yarns over a single weft yarn. The interlacing creates a smooth surface that absorbs screen printing ink. You will break a sewing machine needle trying to pierce it. You must use a size 100/16 denim needle to sew a 12 oz material. Read our canvas fabric duck cloth to learn the manufacturing methods.

Cotton Versus Synthetic Polyester Blends

Natural cotton shrinks up to 10% in hot water. A polyester blended canvas prevents this warping. Polyester repels rain water. Sublimation dye only binds to these specific synthetic polymers. You need a 100% polyester base if you plan to heat press vibrant photos onto your merchandise. Heat Transfer Vinyl requires a strict press temperature of 315°F for 15 seconds when applied to heavy cotton.

Canvas Tote Material Final Recommendations

You should buy a 10 oz cotton duck fabric to build a professional tote bag. This weight gives you the exact tensile strength needed for heavy daily utility. Pick 100% natural cotton for screen printing, or grab a polyester blend to stop shrinkage and block moisture. We stock the exact heavy-duty yardage professional makers demand. Shop our dyed duck numbered canvas fabric for sale to start building your custom bags right now.
