Description: Bold, raw, and unforgettable, Rent is a groundbreaking rock musical that follows a year in the lives of a group of young artists and friends struggling to survive and create in New York City’s East Village during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis.

This production captures the urgency and hope of a group of voices that refuse to be silenced, living fully and loudly in the face of adversity.
