The critically acclaimed rock musical, Rent, rocks the Pollard Theatre stage in October! Loosely based on Giacomo Puccini's opera, La Bohème, Rent is a fantastic journey through love, art and life. You'll be transported to New York City's Lower East Side in the days of the thriving BohemIan East Village. Struggling to survive and create, we find a group of poor young artists living in the shadow of AIDS. Rent gained critical acclaim on Broadway and won a Tony Award for Best Musical. A worthy story told many times, Rent will rock its way into hearts and minds.In support of its mission, the Guthrie Arts & Humanities Council has accomplished its primary goal of establishing and maintaining the Pollard Theatre Company, a year-round resident professional theatre company benefiting the City of Guthrie and the State of Oklahoma.
As the focal project of the GAHC, the Pollard Theatre Company strives to produce a wide variety of quality theatre experiences on a year-round basis for as many Oklahomans and tourists as possible. Predicated on theses philosophies, the Pollard Theatre Company further strives to produce theatre that demonstrates versatility and excellence in artistic standards, while respectfully challenging artist, audience and community alike.
