The Story The laugh-out-loud musical tells the 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 new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt, and packed with heart. Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. The zany, irreverent musical is directed by CSU Associate Professor Russ Borski, and music directed by Maria DiDonato. It was conceived by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx, who together wrote the music and lyrics, with book by Jeff Whitty. Warning: mature themes explored through poly-foam puppetry!

Cleveland Public Theatre & Y-Haven present REACHING BACK<http://www.cptonline.org/performances/seasons/2016-2017/y-haven-theatre-pro…> 2016 Y-Haven Theatre Project HOMELESS MEN IN TRANSITION CREATE A NEW THEATRE PIECE BASED ON THEIR JOURNEYS TOWARD RECOVERY NOV 3 - 6 @ CPT NOV 10 - 12 on tour Cleveland Public Theatre and the Cleveland YMCA's Y-Haven Program present REACHING BACK, the 2016 CPT/Y-Haven Theatre Project. Cleveland Public Theatre and Y-Haven present Reaching Back, created and performed by the residents of Y-Haven, a branch of the Greater Cleveland YMCA. An nineteen-year partnership between the two organizations, the project introduces theatre arts to homeless men recovering substance abuse and mental health challenges. As they work with CPT artists to create an original performance based on their personal experiences, participants develop skills and capacities that support their sobriety and transition to employment, permanent housing and independent living. ABOUT THE PLAY Life has been great for Lavelle King and his family. Younger brother Nick, an actor, is headed to college on a full scholarship. Cousin Reggie is keeping strong in auto sales, and retired Uncle Al is content spending time reading in his chair or catching up with friends at the barbershop. Lavelle has held his job for five strong years and is up for a promotion. As he sets out to drive his career to new heights, a contact from the past reemerges on the scene, seeking Lavelle's downfall. REACHING BACK is a powerful original story that explores the risks and rewards of leaving the past behind, and the wisdom to be earned by moving forward. A consistent audience favorite, the CPT/Y-Haven Theatre Project offers candid insight into important issues of our society and gives real hope for growth and change. Audiences are deeply moved by the poignant stories presented in this powerful collaboration.
