Newsies Jr. - Tweens

Avenue Q

Sandbox Teens (Grades 8-12)

Winner of the Tony Triple Crown

for Best Musical, Best Score,

and Best Book, Avenue Q follows Princeton, a recent college graduate with a useless English degree, as he searches for his purpose in life. Moving into a rundown New York City neighborhood populated by both humans and puppets, he meets quirky neighbors including Kate Monster, an idealistic teaching assistant; Rod, a closeted Republican banker; Nicky, Rod’s laid-back roommate; Brian, a struggling comedian, and his fiancée Christmas Eve, a therapist; Trekkie Monster, an internet-obsessed recluse; and Gary Coleman, the superintendent. Each character grapples with adult struggles—finding work, paying bills, coping with disappointment, and navigating relationships—

all told through humorous, candid, and often irreverent songs.

As Princeton searches for meaning, he begins a romance with Kate Monster, but their relationship faces obstacles from ambition, temptation, and insecurity. Along the way, the characters learn to balance their dreams with reality, embracing the messy, imperfect nature of adulthood. By the finale, they accept that life’s challenges—job loss, heartbreak, and uncertainty—are only “for now,” leaving audiences with a mix of optimism, satire, and hard-earned wisdom.

Freaky Friday, a new musical based on the celebrated novel by Mary Rodgers and the two hit Disney movies, is a hilarious and heartfelt update of an American classic in which a mother and daughter really see what it takes to be a family when they experience each other’s lives first-hand for just one freaky Friday.
