PPI Presents: Avenue Q | Friday | June 6th 2025
2025-06-06 19:00 - 21:00 (America/Los_Angeles) | Brewery Arts Center | East Building | The Maizie Theater, 449 W King St, Carson City, NV, 89703, United States
A puppet-filled comedy follows a group of twenty-somethings seeking their purpose in big-city life.
Winner of the Tony “Triple Crown” for Best Musical, Best Score, and Best Book, Avenue Q is part flesh, part felt, and packed with heart.
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.
Filled with gut-busting humor and a delightfully catchy score, not to mention puppets, Avenue Q is a truly unique show that has quickly become a favorite for audiences everywhere. Although the show addresses humorous adult issues, it is similar to a beloved children’s show; a place where puppets are friends, Monsters are good, and life lessons are learned.
WARNING: This show is rated R and intended for mature audiences. It features adult situations, strong language, and puppet nudity

Proscenium Players is proud to present the first show of our 60th anniversary season

𝐀𝐑𝐒𝐄𝐍𝐈𝐂 𝐀𝐍𝐃 𝐎𝐋𝐃 𝐋𝐀𝐂𝐄
𝐖𝐫𝐢𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐧 𝐛𝐲 𝐉𝐨𝐬𝐞𝐩𝐡 𝐊𝐞𝐬𝐬𝐞𝐥𝐫𝐢𝐧𝐠
Directed by Amelia Gotham

In Joseph Kesselring’s classic dark comedy “Arsenic and Old Lace,” we are introduced to Mortimer Brewster, a theater critic who stumbles upon a chilling revelation: his endearing aunts, Abby and Martha, have been engaging in acts of mercy by poisoning lonely elderly men. This shocking discovery thrusts Mortimer into a chaotic struggle to shield his charming yet misguided aunts from the law, all while navigating the eccentricities of his family, including the menacing criminal Jonathan and Teddy, who fervently believes he is former President Theodore Roosevelt.

The play’s farcical elements are brilliantly accentuated through Mortimer’s comedic encounters with an inept police department and his persistently oblivious fiancé, whose refusal to be sidelined adds to the comedic tumult. Kesselring artfully weaves slapstick humor with an underlying suspense, delving into themes of insanity, familial loyalty, and the absurdity of existence. With its array of colorful characters, unexpected twists, and sharp dialogue, “Arsenic and Old Lace” has secured its status as a beloved cornerstone of American theater, continually captivating audiences with its delightful blend of humor and chaos.

Tired of the holidays belonging only to the kids? Mrs. Claus is taking back the winter cheer for the kids who never truly grew up!

Leave the little ones at home and join Proscenium Players for an evening of Song, Dance, and Theater. We’re featuring several talented artist groups from right here in Northern Nevada as Mrs. Claus scrambles to stall until Santa can make his much-anticipated, adult-friendly appearance. Come enjoy classic holiday songs, marvel at the elegance of the dancers, and laugh along with the theatrics of our actors. This festive event is reserved exclusively for YOU—the adults who deserve to reclaim some of the fun and seasonal merriment. Don’t miss this opportunity to bring the winter cheer back to the grown-ups!

As if that wasn’t enough this semi-formal event will include two free alcoholic* drinks with hors d’oeuvres as we dance and sing the night away, with coffee or hot cocoa served with a dessert to cap it all off! Song, dance, entertainment AND sweets? What else can you ask for? Well, maybe for Santa to show up, but that’ll happen if Mrs. Claus has anything to say about it…
Come spend a night of Season’s Greetings with PPI!
*non alcoholic drinks also available

A play by Ivan Menchell
This brilliant comedy-drama revolves around three Jewish women who meet once a month for tea before going to the cemetery to pay respects to their long-lost husbands. The group consists of all the classic personalities of real life: Ida is sweet and innocent, Lucille is fun loving and feisty, while Doris is the more reserved and prudish of the friends. Despite their differences, they are a tight-knit extended family for each other, and the monthly ritual of tea and the visit to the cemetery is a central point of their lives. The routine is turned upside down one day; however, when they meet Sam the butcher at the cemetery who is paying respects to his deceased wife. Sam hits it off with one of them, and a budding romance puts not only their monthly routine but their very friendship at risk This prompts the other two to take action, creating side-splitting shenanigans to thwart the new love affair…
This hilarious second coming-of-age play is sure to delight all audiences, as everyone knows a Doris, Ida, or a Lucille in their own lives. The story blends the integral parts of friendship, a lesson about moving on after loss, with the shining light of hope. Come experience a slice of New York life, its people and culture as Ida invites you into her home to meet the ladies and become a part of The Cemetery Club.
