Risque puppet show coming to town
More like modern-day Muppets rather than weird 'Team America'

Some regular theatergoers may not like some of the shows Gainesville Theatre Alliance has coming up, said Jim Hammond, artistic director of the alliance. “Avenue Q,” an award-winning musical that features puppets, will be on stage Feb. 13-24 at Brenau’s Hosch Theatre. And Hammond has been trying his best to make it clear the show is R-rated. “If Sesame Street had been created for adults about adult issues, this is what it would look like,” Hammond said.
