Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
October 29 - November 1
Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical
and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon, with songs that rock and a story
that resonates with audiences of all ages. Based loosely on Puccini's La Bohème, Jonathan Larson's
Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to
survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
