Rent
music, lyrics, and book by Jonathan Larson
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.

Square Pegs
Winter 2022-23
This small-scale production will provide students with a low time commitment, fun way to get involved with theater at Georgetown. The focus here will remain on community building and learning, which is perfect for those who are looking to get their feet wet with theater at Georgetown, and also returning members who are looking for a change of pace from our larger scale mainstage productions. This will be a low tech process, meaning more attention and energy can be dedicated to character work and the actors in the space.
