Noah Strube is joining us for his very first MPT show this summer! He plays jobless slacker Nicky (one of our two-handed puppets) in our upcoming production of Avenue Q!

Which Avenue Q character do you most relate to and why?

Definitely Princeton. We are at similar stages in our life. I have no idea what my purpose is yet either.

What has your experience been working with the puppets?

It has been a dream come true! Jim Henson and puppetry have always been a hyper-fixation for me, and it's really rewarding to finally get to work with puppets like that. I will say, they are WAY heavier than you expect them to be, and it is taking a lot of getting used to.

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

“Barrett's Privateers” by Stan Rogers, “Juice” by Lizzo, and “Effington” by Ben Folds.

What is your favorite line/song/moment from the show?

There is one line in the song Schadenfreude that I will not dare spoil. You will absolutely know which one I'm talking about when you see the show.

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

Macauley Culkin. I do not feel the need to explain this.

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