Georgetown's Nomadic Theatre presents: Rent!

Village C Theatre

"A group of young artists in Manhattan’s East Village in the late 1980s/early 1990s navigate love and loss during the HIV/AIDS crisis, over the course of an eventful year ‘in the life of friends.’ Loosely based on Puccini’s ‘La Boheme,’ Jonathan Larson’s book, music, and lyrics take on the backdrop of end-of-millenium New York as an exploration of Bohemian lifestyle. 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."P﻿lease Note: There will be walk-up rush ticket opportunities each night available at the door, even if the tickets on this EventBrite are sold out!A﻿dditionally:Georgetown University is a vaccinated campus.
