Avenue Q School Edition Comes to Starlight Community Theater with Hilarity and Important Life Lessons
Originally a 2003 Broadway production, Avenue Q School Edition is an teen appropriate, yet hilarious edit that delivers important life lessons to the tune of catchy songs sung by a cast of Sesame Street-style puppets. Avenue Q School Edition is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for community theaters and high schools nationwide.
PHOENIX, Jan. 16, 2019 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ -- Starlight Community Theater (SCT) will be presenting Avenue Q School Edition for ten (10) performances beginning Friday, January 18 and running through Sunday, February 2. This production will mark the sixth show of SCT's 2018-2019 season and is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Originally a 2003 Broadway production, Avenue Q School Edition is an teen appropriate, yet hilarious edit that delivers important life lessons to the tune of catchy songs sung by a cast of Sesame Street-style puppets. Avenue Q School Edition is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for community theaters and high schools nationwide.
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.
"The young adults in this show are truly spectacular with the talents they bring to the stage." says Susan Gibson, Director of Avenue Q School Edition, "To be able to act, sing and dance with puppets on their hands is truly exceptional, especially with their hilarious delivery."
Because the original Avenue Q has some content elements that have previously made it a difficult choice for some high school productions, MTI worked with the Avenue Q authors to create an adaptation that maintains the dramatic (and comedic) intention and integrity of the piece, while editing it to make it more appropriate for high school audiences and performers
