and Lyrics by Mark Hollman, Book and Lyrics by Greg Kotis February 29-March 9 Rated PG (mild profanity, sexual innuendo) In a dystopian, not-so-distant future, a water shortage has led to a government-enforced ban on private toilets. The poor are oppressed under a corrupt monopoly until a revolt is led by a brave young hero. Offering a fresh perspective on the musical theatre genre, Urinetown is a hilarious and irreverent satirical musical in which no one is safe from scrutiny.

POE ON THE STREET
Poe Project 2023
7:00pm-9:00pm, Main Street, Grand Junction
Poe on the Streets is an event of The Poe Project
more...0
celebrating the life, works, and inspiration of Edgar Allan Poe. This year, individuals will be roaming Main Street performing short works by Poe or those inspired by Poe. Edgar Allan Poe did not make money off of his work during his lifetime. He died on October 7, 1849, after having been found lying in the street wearing someone else's clothing. It is in this way that our street performances honor his life. If you are wondering how much you might donate, Poe was compensated for The Raven with $9. 100% of donations will benefit The Poe Project. This event typically runs about $100-$300/year to produce including printing costs, venues, fees for credit card payments, and other overhead. The Poe Project is a month-long festival springing off with Poe Week from October 1st through 7th annually, culminating on the date of Edgar Allan Poe's death. We invest in our community by giving a portion of the proceeds from each and every event to the local non-profit of the sponsor’s choice.

The career of the multitalented CHRIS

“LUDACRIS” BRIDGES can best be described as remarkable. As a recording artist, he has sold more than 24 million albums worldwide, thanks to the blockbuster success of such singles as “Stand Up,” “Get Back,” “Southern Hospitality,” “Number One Spot,” “Money Maker” and “My Chick Bad.” All of these records were accompanied by ingenious videos that demonstrated Bridges’ far-reaching imagination, and his willingness to stretch the boundaries of what rap videos should look and feel like. With an unrivaled match of lyrical acumen, wit, and imagery, Ludacris has solidified himself as one of music's premier entertainers. His versatility and artistic complexity also enabled him to make a seamless transition to acting, including the fan favorite role of "Tej" in Universal Pictures’ box office phenomenon Fast & Furious franchise where he was introduced for the first time in 2003 in 2 Fast 2 Furious. He will reprise his role of “Tej” for the seventh time in Fast X, which is set to release May 20, 2023. His other notable feature film credits include Garry Marshall’s ensemble comedy New Year’s Eve, Ivan Reitman’s romantic comedy, No Strings Attached, Paul Higgin’s Crash which received an Academy Award for Best Picture in 2006 and Hustle & Flow which earned Bridges a SAG Award for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture. As a father of four girls, his latest ventures fittingly include launching his educational platform devoted to the enrichment of children called "KidNation". In addition, Bridges created the animated series KARMA’S WORLD which launched in the Top 10 in 42 countries on Netflix, received two NAACP Award nominations and is already on its fourth season. The series for children ages 6-9 is a coming-of-age story about a young Black girl finding her voice and using it to change her world -- originally inspired by Chris’s oldest daughter Karma and based on the interactive educational website of the same name created by Karma’s World Entertainment in 2009. A consummate businessman, Ludacris is enjoying success outside of entertainment. One of his most successful ventures includes opening his long-anticipated restaurant “Chicken-n-Beer” at the Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta Airport with a new location opening at LAX in 2023. Bridge’s philanthropic efforts rival his entertainment accomplishments. He started The Ludacris Foundation in 2001 which focuses on helping the youth in his hometown of Atlanta and has partnered with No Kid Hungry and Feeding America.
