RENT SCHOOL EDITION is
exuberant, passionate, and joyous.  Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT SCHOOL EDITION is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the
Pulitzer Prize for Drama, it has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.  Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, RENT SCHOOL EDITION follows a year in
the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians
struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under
the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional complications of the
disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel. Maureen deals
with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner,
Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has
sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on
the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels
like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate
their dreams, loves, and conflicts provides the narrative thread to
this groundbreaking musical.
