Set in the East Village of New York City, emRent School Edition/em is
about falling in love, finding your voice and living for
today.nbsp; Winner of the Tony Award® for Best Musical and the
Pulitzer Prize for Drama, emRent/em has become a pop
cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with
audiences of all ages.brbrBased loosely on Puccini's La
Boheme, Rent follows a year in the life of a group of friends
struggling to make it in the big city.nbsp; They include Mark, a
filmmaker and the narrator of the story; his former girlfriend, Maureen,
a performance artist; Maureen's lover, Joanne, a public interest
lawyer;nbsp; Mark's roommate Roger, a musician; Mimi, an exotic
dancer, with whom Roger falls in love;nbsp; Tom Collins, a computer
genius;nbsp; Collins' lover, Angel, a street musician and drag
queen;nbsp; and Benny, a former member of the group who, after
marrying into a wealthy family, has become their
landlord.nbsp;nbsp;nbsp;nbsp; How these young
bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the
narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.brbrThis adaptation has been carefully done, working with the Larson estate
to retain the dramatic intent of the groundbreaking rock musical, and
consists of minimal changes to language and the removal of one song
(CONTACT) to make it possible for many schools to perform this piece.
