Directed by Margarett Perry

Cast: Sherman Fracher as Silda Grauman, Jennifer Joplin as Brooke Wyeth, Scott Stoney as Lyman Wyeth, Aaron Vega as Trip Wyeth & Kate Young as Polly Wyeth

The Wyeth family’s Palm Springs Christmas reunion is already a tense affair between conservative parents Lyman and Polly, former GOP celebrities, their two grown children and Polly’s liberal alcoholic sister, Silda. Any sense of peace vanishes completely when daughter Brooke, a once-promising novelist, announces she is about to publish a tell-all memoir that threatens to tarnish her prominent family’s past and reopen old wounds. As Brooke confesses her true motivations behind the book, she learns the real history is more shocking than she ever knew.

Leave the kids at home and get ready for some ridiculous, riotous and downright raunchy puppet behavior in this 2004 triple Tony Award® winner. Come sing along with Princeton, a fresh-faced college grad, and all his wacky new neighbors living way, way, way out on New York City’s Avenue Q. The life lessons come fast and funny as he learns that “It Sucks to Be Me,” “The Internet Is for Porn” and “Everyone’s a Little Bit Racist.” Presented in collaboration with the puppet masters at The Zoot Theatre Company, it’s laugh-out-loud musical mayhem that’s not for the little ones or the faint of heart.
