The Bloginator spent yesterday afternoon updating the Backstage Pass Blog banner to promote Avenue Q - let me tell you... those puppets were tough to manage... would not go on the page...

As the struggle ensued - news backed up!!

For instance - take a look at these First-Year Performance majors - It was their first time on the Shafer stage - Monday and Tuesday nights - and they lit it up! A great First-Year Discovery Project for the class of 2016.

34 actors in 17 scenes - comedy, romance, moments of discovery, glimpses into secrets - and for 80 minutes on both nights a packed audience was enthralled! Congratulations Class of 2016 - and -
