The SUNY Sullivan Theater Arts Program is proud to present Avenue Q, Music and lyrics by Robert López and Jeff Marx and book by Jeff Whitty. Winner of the “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book at the 2004 Tony Awards, Avenue Q 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. Directed by SUNY Sullivan Theater Professor Jessica López-Barkl, with musical direction by Leon Hilfstein and Saudy Familia, Avenue Q is the Theater Arts Program’s musical offering for its 2023-2024 Identify Season.
“As college students embark on their journey in life, they are confronted with identity issues,” said López-Barkl. “Each of the plays in our season will find characters at a crossroads of their identities and the stories that will be told will be how they deal with those crossroads.”
Avenue Q will be performed Friday and Saturday November 10–11, at 8 pm; Sunday, November 12 at 2 pm; and Wednesday–Saturday, November 15–18 at 8 pm, in the Seelig Theatre in the E Building on the SUNY Sullivan campus. Tickets are a suggested donation of $10 to the SUNY Sullivan Theater Program/Performing Arts Club. Tickets can be purchased in person at the box office or in advance at avenueq.brownpapertickets.com.
