ABOUT ABOUT

Set in the East Village within the height of the AIDS Crisis and the Tompkins Square Riots protesting the gentrification of Alphabet City.

RENT tells the stories of Queer artists bravely reckoning together with how to make meaning and care for each other in defiance of the systemic violence that impacts them.

With ferociously heart-centered resonance and a '90s grunge rock score, this classic musical invites us all to risk everything for what we know is right and, most of all, to measure our lives in love.

Please note that RENT includes depictions/themes of substance abuse, suicide, houselessness, living with / dying of HIV, direct action, and police violence. Many scenes involve sexually explicit language and actions.
