Canyon Crest Academy Envision Theatre Presents:

“Avenue Q: School Edition”

In the Proscenium Theatre

Mar 21 – Mar 30, 2013  

SAN DIEGO (February 16, 2012) – Award-winning Canyon Crest Academy’s Envision Theatre is thrilled to present Avenue Q - School Edition, Guest Directed by Dana Carr, with Musical Direction by Stephanie Saban, from March 21- March 30, 2013 at the Proscenium Theatre.  

ABOUT AVENUE Q – SCHOOL EDITION

Music and Lyrics by  Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx
Book by  Jeff Whitty
Based on an original concept by Robert Lopez and Jeff Marx

Winner of the Tony "Triple Crown" for Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book, AVENUE Q is part flesh, part felt and packed with heart. AVENUE Q SCHOOL EDITION is a laugh-out-loud musical that 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 new-found friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Because the original AVENUE Q has some content elements that have previously made it a difficult choice for some high school productions, MTI has 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. Suggested for mature audiences.
