Professional theatre has returned to The Armory in downtown Janesville and audiences are laughing their you-know-whats off and rolling in the aisles. Why? Avenue Q has moved into The Armory for a limited time!
Produced by Armory alum Brett J. Frazier, Avenue Q is the laugh out loud musical that uses muppet-style puppets, animated by unconcealed puppeteers, alongside human actors to tell the all too familiar story of a recent college grad named Princeton. Princeton moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q where he meets Kate (the girl next door), Rod (the Republican), Trekkie (the internet sexpert), and other colorful types who help Princeton try to find his purpose in life.
Avenue Q is great for adults of all ages and even young adults because it's about real life. It's not appropriate for young children because Avenue Q addresses issues like sex, drinking, and surfing the web for...you know. Parents should use their discretion based on the maturity level of their children.
