Exuberant, passionate and joyous, Jonathan Larson’s iconic Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical is a pop cultural phenomenon that forever changed the landscape of musical theater. With songs that rock and a story that resonates, RENT follows the lives of seven artists struggling to survive while navigating their dreams, loves and conflicts in the East Village of New York City at the end of the millennium. Featuring groundbreaking songs Seasons of Love, Take Me or Leave Me, and Out Tonight, RENT shaped a generation of audiences and taught us all to measure our lives in love!

Themes
- Writer-composer Jonathan Larson’s life showed that while tomorrow isn’t promised to anyone, we can make a difference with the time we have. He sadly passed away shortly before seeing RENT’s success on Broadway, but this show has changed lives since 1996. What does legacy mean to you? What is the value of hard work if we don’t get to see the results in our own lifetimes?
