To Do This Weekend

(Events)

There's a lot to do this weekend in Our Fair City, so there are no excuses for not seeing what McKeesport has to offer:

. . .

'Urinetown' at MLT: McKeesport Little Theater presents "Urinetown," the Tony award-winning satire by Mark Hollmann and Greg Kotis.

The musical comedy, which debuted off-Broadway in 2001, is set in a dystopian future when a severe worldwide drought has made clean water a scarce commodity. As a result, even toilet use is rationed, and the worldwide market for bathrooms is controlled by one giant corporation.

People who don't pay the company's fees are arrested and sent to a penal colony called "Urinetown."

Show times are 8 p.m. Friday and Saturday and 2 p.m. Sunday. McKeesport Little Theater is located at 1614 Coursin St., off Versailles Avenue. Call (412) 673-1100 or visit the MLT website.

. . .

TL Back at Palisades: Terry Lee returns to the Palisades on Saturday night for another oldies dance. The longtime WMCK, WIXZ and Channel 11 personality, now heard Sunday nights on WJAS (1320), will be joined again by fellow DJ Rich Antoncic.

Doors open at 7 p.m. and tickets at the door --- if available --- are $25. (The last show was a sell-out and some late arrivals were turned away.)

The Palisades is located on Fifth Avenue at Water Street, Downtown, next to the McKees Point Marina. Refreshments and food will be available and parking is free. Call (412) 672-2001 or visit the Palisades website for more information.

. . .

And Reminders: ... As we noted Tuesday, McKeesport Symphony Pops will wrap up its 2009-10 season with the concert "Rhythms on Fire" at McKeesport Area High School auditorium. The concert begins at 2:30 p.m. Sunday .... McKeesport Art Group opens its 52nd annual art show and craft sale tonight at Jacob Woll Pavilion, Renziehausen Park. The art show continues through Sunday afternoon.

The thought occurs to us that on Sunday, you could go to the art show and then --- since you're in the neighborhood --- attend the symphony concert or see "Urinetown" at the MLT. Seems like a pleasant way to spend a Sunday afternoon.
