Got questions about Avenue Q? We've got answers, starting with: who's directing?

Meet Elizabeth Nye, director of Avenue Q! In her words:
"I am thrilled to join the team for Avenue Q! This is a truly unique show that asks the big life questions. How do we love one another? What is the internet for? Can we hold onto optimism in an increasingly impossible world full of existential dread, student loan debt, a soul-crushing job market, and an affordability crisis? What if puppets had s*x? Like Shakespeare but with puppets. I can't wait to create absolute puppet chaos with SNAP! this fall, and I hope you'll join us!"

Quick reminder: auditions are this weekend!

📅 Friday, August 28th, 6–8 PM
📅 Saturday, August 29th, 12–2:30 PM

As we step into this next chapter for SNAP! Productions, we're honored to open our new season with Bernard Pomerance's The Elephant Man, directed by Kimberly Faith Hickman.

This show is the true story of a man who spent his life longing to be seen as normal, when what he actually needed was to be accepted exactly as he was. What he wanted and what he needed were never the same thing, and that gap is what makes this story so unforgettable.

📅 September 11th-27th
🎟️ Tickets on sale now at www.snapproductions.com

SNAP! Productions is entering a new chapter.
We're shifting our artistic direction, but who we are isn't changing. SNAP! has always been a theater for our community, by our community, and that's not going anywhere.

As part of this next chapter, we want to be upfront: our new season will move forward without our previous artistic director. We're now beginning conversations to find the artistic leadership who will help shape what comes next. We're excited about where this search will take us, and we'll share more information as soon as we can.

Our volunteer board remains the heart of everything we do, and as we grow, we're aiming for a new standard of excellence, with you by our side every step of the way.

Interested in getting involved? We would love to have you audition, volunteer, donate, sponsor, or anything else you can think of!

Questions? DM us or email [email protected]. Stay tuned for more.

The songs everyone couldn't stop humming after the curtain call? None of it would've been possible without the incredibly talented band! They brought Alanis Morissette's music to life night after night, and the live energy they gave this show was everything.

Thank you for the music, y'all.

July is Disability Pride Month, and for us that means accessibility has to live in the everyday decisions at our theater, from who's in the room to who can actually walk through the door and experience the shows. Here's a look at how we try to build that into SNAP! Productions. We don't have it all figured out, but this is work we're committed to.

Got ideas or want to partner with us on this work? We'd love to hear from you. 💬

Image 2: Text graphic titled "Some of Our Practices" listing three bullet points: Representation, involving people with disabilities on stage and on the Board of Directors; ASL Theater Education Immersion Program, providing interpreting services and student mentorship; and Community, partnering with local organizations for outreach. Caption below reads "Accessibility isn't a single initiative for us. It shows up in everything from casting to programming and outreach."

SolLuna Hyla Flores is a multidisciplinary artist whose work is rooted in color, intuition, movement, and play. This exhibition features original abstract works created between 2012 and 2019, pulled from what she lovingly calls “the vault.” During this chapter of her creative life, SolLuna worked primarily with India ink and acrylic paint using an unusual technique that she rarely uses in her current work. Many of these pieces have been stored away for more than ten years. SolLuna’s goal is to inspire others to use color in ways that push their personal boundaries and to remind adults of the importance of play. For her, art is not about perfection, permission, or outside approval. Art can be bold, messy, joyful, strange, emotional, or unexpected. If it makes someone feel something, it has opened a door. SolLuna earned her Associate degree in Studio Art from Cayuga Community College, her Bachelor’s degree in Studio Art from Wells College, and her Master’s in Education in Health and Wellness from SUNY Oswego. She is also a certified Level 2 Reiki Practitioner and a public speaker on Irlen Syndrome.
This exhibition is an experiment in accessibility. Each piece is available through a QR code using a “pay what you are able” model, with a suggested donation of
$20–$60. Once payment is made through Venmo, patrons may remove the artwork directly from the wall and take it home.
Original art should feel reachable. These pieces are not meant to sit unseen. They are meant to live, move, spark conversations, and become part of someone else’s space.

With zest and enthusiasm,
SolLuna Hyla Flores
