Tickets are also available 60-minutes prior to performances at the Allen Theatre Complex. CSU Students, Faculty and Staff can purchase one $5.00 ticket per Valid CSU ID presented at time of in person purchase. 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! The Cast The Avenue Q cast includes Jeremy Adkins (Male Bad Idea Bear/Ricky), Cheyenne Bizon (Lucy/Mrs. Thistletwat), Sarah Blubaugh (Kate Monster), Nick Earl (Nicky), Alexa Fatheringham (Christmas Eve), Frank Ivancic (Rod), Zavier McLean (Princeton), Brooke Morrison (Female Bad Idea Bear/Newcomer), Stephen Noreck (Trekkie Monster), Tim Parks (Brian), and Kim Simbeck (Gary Coleman).

In this workshop, novice screenwriters gain a deep understanding of that structure--including the inciting incident, climax, and dénouement--while more experienced screenwriters enhance their creative problem-solving techniques. For playwrights, this workshop serves as a great way to step into screenwriting, as the craft of playwriting directly translates into the form.

Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson at BGSU Firelands College
by Brian M Marshall via NEohioPAL 02 Nov '16

02 Nov '16

BGSU Firelands College Theatre presents BLOODY BLOODY ANDREW JACKSON November 3, 4 and 5 at 7:30 pm McBride Auditorium BGSU Firelands College Just in time for the three-ring circus that is our 2016 Presidential election, BGSU Firelands College is presenting a controversial look at our first "celebrity" President in the new rock musical, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson. Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson, an audacious mix of historical fact and fiction, redefines America's controversial seventh president--the man who invented the Democratic Party, drove the Indians west, and ultimately doubled the size of our nation--with a raucous blend of outrageous comedy, anarchic theatricality and an infectious emo rock score. Written by Alex Timbers and Michael Friedman, Bloody Bloody Andrew Jackson is an exhilarating and white-knuckled look at one of our nation's founding rock stars. This hysterical musical recreates and reinvents the life of "Old Hickory," from his humble beginnings on the Tennessee frontier to his days as Commander-in-Chief. It also asks the question; Is wanting to have a beer with someone reason enough to elect him? What if he's really, really hot? The production is Rated R and for mature audiences only. Tickets now on sale at www.sanduskystate.com<http://l.facebook.com/l.php?u=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.sanduskystate.com%2F&h=8AQHM…> or by calling 419-626-1950. NEW LOWER TICKET PRICE!
