Center Stage Theatre in Shelton will present Avenue Q from June 6 – June 15. The laugh-out-loud musical 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. View the full schedule and purchase tickets at centerstageshelton.org. * Avenue Q is a musical comedy that features mature themes. Recommended for ages 14-up with parental discretion.
