STAGE TUBE: Get a Sneak Peek at 5th Avenue Theatre's RENT!

By:



The 5th Avenue Theatre took Seattle behind-the-scenes of RENT at the latest installment of the 5th’s free Spotlight Night series. Hosted by 5th Avenue Theatre Executive Producer and Artistic Director David Armstrong, the event took place at 7:00 PM tonight, June 20, and introduced audiences to the passionate young cast of Seattle-based stars, and will feature thrilling musical performances, and conversation with the creative team behind this exciting new approach to the beloved rock-opera. View "Another Day" below!

RENT is the musical that changed it all, defining a new generation of musical theater fans. Now the 5th brings Seattle its own new vision for the long-standing hit. Fresh from the sell-out hit First Date (a co-production between The 5th Avenue Theatre and ACT – A Contemporary Theatre), RENT director Bill Berry will sit down with Spotlight Night Host David Armstrong to talk about the first time he saw the show as a young artist in New York in the ’90s, and his innovative, new approach to the rock musical today.
