The Broadway hit “Avenue Q” took the “Tony Award” triple crown of for best musical, score and book. The Farmington Players Barn will be the first community theatre in the Detroit area to perform the show, August 10-25.
Audiences will laugh out loud as a lively team of adults and puppets tell the story of a college grad named Princeton, searching for his purpose in life.
He moves to a shabby New York apartment on Avenue Q where he meets colorful characters including Kate (The Girl Next Door), Rod (The Republican), Trekkie (The Internet “Sexpert”), and Lucy the “slut.”
Those auditioning are encouraged to use their best Muppet/Sesame Street voice for all puppet characters. Please choose a song from the show to sing at auditions. Cuts are available at
