Student Blog: Avenue Q - How Puppets Can Tell A Deeply Human Story
by Student Blogger: Sarah Tennille - Feb 7, 2022
Avenue Q is one of Broadway's most unique masterpieces of all time.

While many feel that the concept of 'Dirty Puppets' has become tired and cliche with the production of movies like The Happytime Murderers or the success of comedians like Randy Feltface, Avenue Q withstands the test of time through its sincere storytelling and simple themes that remind us all to find joy in our lives where we can and appreciate the things we have.
