Set Design: Ground Plan
As Avenue Q primarily takes place on a fictional
street an “outer-outer borough”
of New York City, we wanted to
create a cityscape that felt hectic
and rundown, without taking
attention away from the action
on stage. Each primary character,
all residents of the same building
on Avenue Q, has a designated
fl at with their own apartment
window at different visual levels.
The higher windows had to be
safe to access with a puppet on
one hand, so those had short
steps leading up to a long drama
box.

Flat Design: Rear Elevation
Each flat has a window cut out with a sheer curtain that can be used to create silhouettes for night scenes, or can be opened for dialogue/songs.
