LOCH SHELDRAKE, NY — The SUNY Sullivan Theater Arts Program will present the musical “Avenue Q” on Friday and Saturday, November 10 and 11 at 8 p.m.; on Sunday, November 12 at 2 p.m.; and Wednesday through Saturday, November 15-18 at 8 p.m. in the Seelig Theatre in the E Building on the SUNY Sullivan campus.

Music and lyrics are by Robert López and Jeff Marx, and the book is by Jeff Whitty. 

“Avenue Q” was the winner of the so-called Triple Crown, taking home Best Musical, Best Score and Best Book at the 2004 Tony Awards.

It tells the story of Princeton, a recent college grad, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. 

Directed by SUNY Sullivan Theater Professor Jessica López-Barkl, with musical direction by Leon Hilfstein and Saudy Familia, “Avenue Q” is the Theater Arts Program’s musical offering for its 2023-2024 season.

“As college students embark on their journey in life, they are confronted with identity issues,” said López-Barkl. “Each of the plays in our season will find characters at a crossroads of their identities and the stories that will be told will be how they deal with those crossroads.”

Tickets cost a suggested donation of $10 to the SUNY Sullivan Theater Program/Performing Arts Club. Tickets can be purchased in person at the box office or in advance at www.avenueq.brownpapertickets.com.
