With TGIF around the corner, head over to Playhouse on Park for a mingle or two! The Playhouse is offering a special Young Professionals rate for Avenue Q on Thursday, October 5. A pre-show networking reception will be held from 6:00-7:15pm, and the show begins at 7:30pm. The ticket price Young Professionals (ages 21-35) is just $20!
 
Relax with some snacks and unwind with a glass of rose or cabernet - all complimentary, of course. After a bit of networking, kick back and enjoy the Avenue Q: Winner of the Tony Triple Crown for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, this puppet-filled comedy (fit for adults only) tells the timeless story of a recent college grad, Princeton, who moves into a shabby New York apartment all the way out on Avenue Q. The story dives into work, relationships and purpose through witty dialogue and charming music.
 
The purpose of the Young Professional Advisory Board is to provide increased representation of young professionals in the Greater Hartford arts community. YPAB members participate in initiatives unique to the group, Board of Directors sub-committees, as well as attend productions and events. The YPAB shared priority is to support the overall mission of the Playhouse by acting as ambassadors for the Playhouse in the Greater Hartford community. Members of YPAB have the opportunity to enrich the emerging Park Road and West Hartford arts communities while enhancing their own resumes, developing fundraising skills, and building their professional networks. For more information about the YPAB, contact co-chair Dan Deutsch at dandeutsch426@gmail.com.
