RENT October 22, 2011

Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer Prize-winning Broadway musical - based loosely on Puccini's La Bohème but with a rock-inspired zest all its own — follows a year in the lives of seven impoverished young artists and musicians in New York.

Living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in the East Village, they struggle to survive and create while dealing with the physical and emotional complications of the AIDS epidemic.

Our student performers, who themselves anticipate a life in the arts, will draw on their own hopes, dreams and creative energies to bring RENT to raucous life on our stage.
