RENT: DOWNTOWN LA takes place in a warehouse in industrial downtown Los Angeles, where an artistic renaissance is underway in the vein of 1990s Alphabet City.
The musical numbers will be the same, but we're adding our own special West Coast touch to everything else: beverages will be served to the audience in brown paper bags, local L.A. musicians will provide the live score and when you walk into this warehouse, you will be inside and living the RENT experience.
Set in the East Village of New York’s Alphabet City, RENT is about being young and learning to survive, falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. A theatrical experience unlike any other, RENT forever changed the Broadway landscape, and continues to inspire with its powerful ideas, timeless emotions, and captivating rock score.

Review: CABARET at Downtown Cabaret Theatre
April 22, 2023On Friday, April 21st, I had the pleasure of seeing CABARET at the Downtown Cabaret Theatre in Bridgeport, CT. This highly thought provoking play has book by Joe Masteroff, and songs written by John Kander with lyrics by Frank Ebb. Even though it was written in 1966, it addresses concepts that are relevant in the modern day, like how we may be unaware of the serious injustices going on across the world, until they directly impact us or someone we know. It also shows how people who believe that politics is irrelevant to their own personal lives do not become immune to the consequences of the wrong people rising to power. Most importantly, it shows the lethal results of a society that rejects moral absolutes and lets the shifting sands of feelings and emotionally manipulative propaganda define its sense of reality, right, and wrong.
