Princeton, a recent college graduate with a “B.A. in English,” finally finds an apartment he can afford on Avenue Q. Wondering about his purpose in life, Princeton takes advice from his eccentric neighbors. At the same time, he encounters and begins to fall in love with Kate, an aspiring teacher, but struggles with his own fear of commitment.
