2. Rent - The National Tour

The 20th Anniversary tour of RENT comes to the capital region—and to the intimacy of Harris Center’s Stage One. RENT opened on Broadway in 1996, an original rock musical by a little-known composer; it won both a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for Best Musical. RENT follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists—a timeless celebration of friendship and creativity. “Indeed, this vigorous tale of a marginal band of artists in Manhattan’s East Village, a contemporary answer to La bohème, rushes forward on an electric current of emotion ... Sustained by a glittering, inventive score, the work finds a transfixing brightness in characters living in the shadow of AIDS.” (From original 1996 review, New York Times).

Note: RENT involves mature themes and therefore parental discretion is recommended for youth under the age of 13.
