Rent at Carlos P. Romulo Auditorium

To celebrate its 15th anniversary, 9 Works Theatrical brings back “Rent,” Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize-winning rock musical. This restaging promises a unique theatrical experience, offering a fresh perspective on the beloved classic and placing HIV/AIDS front and center.

"Rent" is not just a gritty rock musical adaptation of Puccini’s opera “La Boheme.” It's a powerful reflection of the human spirit. Set in the early '90s, a time when cases of drug abuse and HIV/AIDS were on the rise, it follows a year in the life of a group of starving artists and musicians in New York City’s East Village. Its themes of love, resilience, and the pursuit of dreams are as relevant today as they were then.
