The comedic musical Avenue Q uses Muppet-like puppets to portray characters struggling to make it in New York City. Princeton, a college graduate, arrives in the city with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon meets Brian, an out-of-work comedian, and his therapist fianceé Christmas Eve; Nicky the good-hearted slacker and his roommate Rod---a Republican investment banker who seems to have some sort of secret. Together, Princeton and his newfound friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life.

Fri, Oct 7, 2011 – Sun, June 3, 2012 Writer C.S. Lewis is invited to the home of legendary psychoanalyst Dr. Sigmund Freud, where he is expecting he will be called on the carpet for satirizing Freud in a recent book.

On the day England enters World War II, Freud and Lewis clash on the existence of God, love, sex and the meaning of life—only two weeks before Freud chooses to take his own.
