Brianna Creviston (Kate Monster) and Nick Tipsword (Princeton) rehearse a scene for Okaw Valley High School’s April 22 & 23 production of “AVENUE Q: School Edition.”

•April 20, 2016•

The Okaw Valley High School drama club will present the musical comedy “AVENUE Q: School Edition” at 7 p.m. April 22 and 23 in the OVHS Gym in Bethany.

“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. He soon discovers that although the residents seem nice, it’s clear that this is not your ordinary neighborhood. Together Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

The original “AVENUE Q” is a two-act musical, conceived by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, who wrote the music and lyrics. Because the original show contains some elements that have previously made it inaccessible to high school productions, Music Theatre International worked with the Avenue Q authors to create an adaptation that maintains the dramatic intention and integrity of the piece, while editing it to make it more appropriate for high school audiences and performers.      Login or Subscribe to read the rest of this story.
