QWACA Reviews Avenue Q

Two of the three QWACA members attended a showing of Avenue Q last night. We must say that this is a wonderful show that deals with issues that some of us are not able to talk about. Cleverly using puppets and a small cast, the show manages to keep the audience laughing uncontrollably throughout. Avenue Q makes issues like racisim, homophobia, and sex a topic of open discussion in a non-threating way that makes us laugh until we cry.

QWACA gives Avenue Q 4.5 "QWACs" for it's witty characters and fantastic cast. This is definately a must see.

**Purple QWAC be sure to catch this one soon.
