Rent Audition Notice

June 8-24, 2012 Book, music and lyrics by Jonathan Larson.  Winner of 4 Tony Awards including Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent is loosely based on Puccini’s opera La Boheme.  Rent tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians striving to survive and create while struggling with life and love,  poverty and illness and  the  AIDS epidemic.  Rent has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.  This is a story that will break your heart while tenderly putting the pieces back together again.
