Pitt’s Theatre Arts program will perform Greg Kotis and Mark Hollmann’s biting satirical musical “Urinetown” this week. The student-directed Student Labs production tackles everything from capitalism to bureaucracy, imagining a society in which a massive water drought forces everyone to pay to use public bathrooms. In the pay-to-pee monopoly, the justice system sends offenders who don’t pay to a penal colony called “Urinetown.”

Sleater-Kinney’s No Cities to Love was an impassioned, triumphant return after ten years off from music. Although the record isn’t as politically razor-sharp as the band’s earlier work, it’s the kind of comeback that suggests the live shows will rock like they did in 2004.
