Fall Musical - Avenue Q: School Edition
The Broadway hit, with equal parts puppetry, comedy, and a great musical score, has been adapted for the school stage from the original production, which won the 2004 Tony Awards for Best Musical, Best Original Score, and Best Book. Mature themes are still explored, but the "School Edition" is decidedly more "viewer-friendly," while preserving its original integrity. Like "Sesame Street," "Avenue Q" has interacting human and puppet residents, but that's where the similarities end. On Avenue Q, sunny days don't necessarily sweep the clouds away. Twenty-somethings are often struggling to find their place in the world, while dealing with the stress of securing jobs and making relationships work. Princeton, a recent college graduate, moves into a shabby apartment on the New York City street, Avenue Q, where he and his new friends face the everyday struggle of trying to find purpose in life. The characters eventually learn to discover, accept, and own who they are.
Please be advised that this show is appropriate for PG-13 audiences.
Tickets are available on GoFan.co or at the door, while supplies last.
Avenue Q: School Edition is present through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

Our athletic department, school, and conference have moved to Bound, an online platform that will serve as our primary source for game schedules, team information, and event updates.
