AVENUE Q — AN EVENING AT THE THEATRE WITH GW ALUMNI
Your GW Chicago Alumni Chapter has secured a set of tickets to AVENUE Q! Winner of the 2004 Tony for Best Musical, AVENUE Q is the story of Princeton, a bright-eyed college grad who comes to New York City with big dreams and a tiny bank account. He soon discovers that the only neighborhood in his price range is AVENUE Q. Together, Princeton and his newfound neighbors and friends struggle to find jobs, dates, and their ever-elusive purpose in life. 

Thursday, May 22
6 p.m. Pre-show Reception
Location TBD

7:30 p.m. Show
Cadillac Palace Theatre
