WHAT IS RENT?
RENT is a world famous rock musical by Jonathan Larson that tells the story of 8 friends’ need for connection in a world that has thrown them away. Set in the East Village of NYC at the height of the AIDS Epidemic, this group of artists and musicians experience desperation, loneliness, loss, lust, and love all while coping with survival. They learn what it means to live for today.
