Winner of Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt, and packed with heart. It 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. There he meets his colorful neighbors who help him discover his purpose in life.

Parental Advisory: Please note this show is Rated R. Avenue Q is great for teenagers because it’s about real life. It may not be appropriate for young children because Avenue Q addresses issues like sex and drinking. Parents should use their discretion based on the maturity level of their children. But we promise you this — if you do bring your teenagers to Avenue Q, they’ll think you’re really cool.

With Jim Adams, Stephen Backus, Melissa Berkowitz, Jenna Bouma, Temple Fortson, Mike Iacone, Lauren J. Lowell, Adam Newland, and Joey Rolandelli

Friday & Saturday at 8:00, Sunday at 2:00
