We last worked with Kenzie Ford-Merucci during our 2019 season. This summer she’s back on the MPT stage as Box Puppet and Kate understudy in Avenue Q!

What should someone who has never seen Avenue Q know about the show?

Puppets ≠ Family-friendly show!

What has your experience been working with the puppets?

I’ve done a lot of puppetry in the past but this is my first time working with a hand/rod puppet! It definitely has its challenges, but I’m having a such a fun time learning and experimenting.

What are the top 3 songs you’d put on a mix tape?

“Chasing a Feeling” by Allison Ponthier, “Mirrorball” by Taylor Swift, and “Get Well Soon” by Ariana Grande.

If you could have any former child star as a landlord, who would it be?

Raven-Symoné or Taylor Lautner.

Why does it suck to be you?

I care too much about bees and raccoons.

Don’t miss Kenzie onstage in Avenue Q August 4-13! Tickets are on sale now at www.middletonplayers.com/tickets.
