2026 Spring Alumni Weekend

Avenue Q

Joan and Macon Theatre, Susan S. Goode Fine and Performing Arts Center

èßäÊÓÆµTheatre presents AVENUE Q, Music and Lyrics by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx. Book by Jeff Whitty. Based on the original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx.

AVENUE Q is a gut-bustingly hilarious modern musical focusing on a group of unique 20- somethings making their way in the big city, seeking their purpose in life. 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. WARNING: Adult language, themes, and puppet nudity.
