A winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. The laugh-out-loud musical tells the timeless story of a recent college grad named Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. He soon discovers that, although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together, Princeton and his new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good, and life lessons are learned. ~ MTI

Laurel Mill Playhouse presents:
Miss Evers’ Boys
by David Fedshuh
directed by Loraine Brooks
produced by Marvin and Maureen Rogers
February 9 – March 3, 2024
Location: Laurel Mill Playhouse
Miss Evers’ Boys tells the story of Nurse Eunice Evers and the men in her charge, who, between 1934 and 1970, unwittingly participated in a US Health Department study on the effects of syphilis in the Negro male. The play was inspired by the book “Bad Blood” by James Jones, which explores the ethics of this clinical study and looks at how ideas about race and the perceptions of racial “differences” affect the quality, availability, and nature of healthcare in the US.
Ticket prices are as follows:
Adults: $24
