RENT is, at its core, a story about community and impact, and this production hopes to center individual identity as it pertains to characters’ relationships both with each other and with the city they live and create in. Paying special attention to the complex web of histories and relationships between characters, this production imagines the world of Larson’s rock opera as one of competing artistic voyeurism and documentary truth, of ‘selling out’ and genuine interest, and of loneliness and belonging. With a rock score and an ensemble cast, RENT is as much a celebration of life as it is an exploration of political and social reality.
