DESCRIPTION:Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson\n\nMusical Arrangements: Steve Skinner\n\nOriginal Concept/Additional Lyrics: Billy Aronson\n\nMusic Supervision and Additional Arrangements: Tim Weil\n\nDramaturg: Lynn Thomson\n\nRENT was originally produced in New York by New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway by Jeffrey Seller, Kevin McCollum, Allan S. Gordon and New York Theatre Workshop.\n\n\n\nDirected by Joshua “Baba” Tavares\n\n\n\nJonathan Larson’s groundbreaking rock opera, RENT delves into timeless themes of love, loss, and friendship, resonating deeply across generations. New Assistant Acting Professor Joshua “Baba” Tavares’ unique interpretation of this iconic musical draws profound parallels to our contemporary reality. While rooted in the AIDS crisis of the 80s and 90s, RENT's narrative transcends time, addressing pressing issues of today. Amidst the aftermath of the global pandemic and the ongoing challenges of COVID-19, we confront similar struggles depicted in the musical: the escalating cost of living, homelessness, displacement, mental health crises, and substance abuse. Through the eyes of our talented young artists, RENT offers a compelling exploration of self-discovery amidst adversity. At its heart, this story poses a poignant question: how do we measure our lives?\n\n \n\nAdvisories: mature themes including substance abuse, strong language, sexuality, self-harm, not recommended for children. \n\n\n\nRENT is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com
