Presented by the Telfair Museum of Art
This site-specific, multi-gallery installation by Savannah resident and nationally-recognized artist Jerome Meadows will feature his work in combination with select objects from the Telfair's collection to reinterpret and reframe the traditional views of the museum’s permanent collection.

These objects will be juxtaposed with original works fabricated by Meadows as visual commentary, and with altered and enlarged photographic reproductions. Meadows will also draw upon the frame as a visual metaphor, utilizing a selection of the more decorative sort as independent components—removed, reconsidered, deconstructed, and realigned.
The exhibition includes a "Free Week" event April 27-30 and a free evening lecture by Meadows April 30 at 6 p.m..

Description:Little Theatre of Savannah presents
"Urinetown: The Musical" directed by Jeffrey DeVincent
book by Greg Kotis
lyrics by Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann
music by Mark Hollmann
Winner of three Tony Awards,
including Best Book
The Number One Musical!
(Once you get past the title, it's all good, clean fun)
One of the most uproariously funny musicals in recent years, Urinetown is a hilarious tale of greed, corruption, love, and revolution 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 thatprofits by charging admission for one of humanity's most basic needs. Amid the people, a hero decides he's had enough, and plans a revolution to lead them all to freedom! Inspired by the works of Bertolt Brecht and Kurt Weill, Urinetown is an irreverently humorous satire in which no one is safe from scrutiny. Praised for reinvigorating the very notion of what a musical could be, Urinetown catapults the “comedic romp” into the new millennium with its outrageous perspective, wickedly modern wit, and sustained ability to produce gales of unbridled laughter.
