In a Nutshell

Mature musical follows a hybrid of puppets and humans as they look for love and purpose in New York City

The Fine Print

Metaphors for laughter are often surprisingly violent, from busting a gut to splitting your sides to tumbling down the jagged face of Joke Mountain. Break a funny bone with this GrouponLive deal to see Avenue Q at the Lower Ossington Theatre. For $49, you get two tickets for general admission to any show from August 24 to October 7 (a $98 value). Shows run Thursdays and Fridays at 8 p.m., Saturdays at 2 and 8 p.m., and Sundays at 4 p.m. Check the website for a full schedule.

The Lower Ossington Theatre tickles funny bones with Avenue Q, the highly acclaimed, Tony Award–winning Broadway smash. Performed by a cross-species mix of puppets and humans, the musical follows Princeton, a well-meaning recent college grad who moves to New York City with Big Apple–sized dreams and gets a much needed real-world education from his neighbours. The off-color, mature, and perversely funny production is warm, endearing, and more heart-rending than a sock-puppet production of King Lear. Praised by Postcity.com for her "smooth direction," Seanna Kennedy has created staging that allows the puppeteers to meld with their string-bound charges, giving life to lewd songs and affecting scenes alike.

Lower Ossington Theatre

When Brittany Goldfield Rodrigues of Broadway World paid a visit to Lower Ossington Theatre's production of RENT, she was struck by many things—the dynamite performances and powerhouse vocals, the costumes, the deceptively simple staging—but the space itself might have taken the cake. An intimate venue can make an experience immersive, and Lower Ossington Theatre's three performance spaces possess that quality in spades. Goldfield Rodrigues noted how instead of a stage, the theatre kept audiences and performers on the same plane—the show in an open space at the front with individual chairs facing it—helping viewers feel as though they were in the same world as the characters and dispelling the worry that the performers might be invading giants.

The Groupon Guide to: Surfing Slang

Like all dedicated hobbyists, surfers have developed their own nomenclature for various aspects of their chosen pursuit. How many of these surfing terms are you familiar with?

Aggro: Local agriculture, seaweed, sea cucumbers, etc.

Hang Ten: Staying in the air for a full 10 seconds after doing a sweet ramp jump off a manatee’s back

Choppy: Why, he’s the wise old lighthouse keeper!

Chillax: A portmanteau of chilling and ax murders to warn surfer children not to stay out past sunset

Wipeout: Having a friend wipe the water out of your hair when you’re done surfing

What is the terrifying secret meaning of the word "chillax"?
