ABOUT THE SHOW
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 Boheme," 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.
The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel.
Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble.
Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends.
Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
ABOUT STADIUM THEATRE PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE AND CONSERVATORY
STADIUM THEATRE PERFORMING ARTS CENTRE was built in 1926, and is one of the few remaining examples of the majestic Vaudeville Theatre era in operation today.
Since being restored in 2001, the STADIUM THEATRE has developed into a community center where famed international artists like Liza Minnelli, Cher and George Winston grace the same stage as community arts organizations such as community theatre, dance and music groups.
It is the STADIUM THEATRE's mission to offer the widest variety of high caliber, live entertainment to guests at family-affordable prices.
