RENT: SCHOOL EDITION Plays at Yorktown Stage 12/12-12/14

By:

Jonathan Larson's ground-breaking Tony and Pulitzer Prize Award winning musical Rent played its final performance on Broadway this September, completing a run that spanned over a decade. But audiences can enjoy a local production of the musical at Yorktown Stage this December, in one of the first youth incarnations of the show.

The Random Farms Kids Theater's company for teens - The Edge - will present Rent-School Edition December 12th and 13th at 8pm and December 14th at 1pm and 6pm. Yorktown Stage is located at 1974 Commerce Street in Yorktown. Directions can be found at www.yorktownstage.org.

Rent is a contemporary retelling of Giacomo Puccini's fourth opera, La Boheme. An inspiring story about friends and artists struggling in New York City's East Village, Rent tackles addiction, poverty, AIDS and, most of all, love. Rent-School Edition is a slightly shorter version, with profanity and the song "Contact" removed. The show features well knows songs such as "Seasons of Love," "La Vie Boheme" and "Light My Candle."

The production is directed by Marc Tumminelli and is made up of 30 young people who are divided into two casts. They come from Westchester, Putnam and Rockland counties, Connecticut and New Jersey. The cast members have a wealth of theater, film and television experience.

For more information, or to reserve tickets, go to www.randomfarms.com.

Please note that Rent-School Edition contains mature themes.
