Area Stage Company is proud to announce their upcoming conservatory production of Rent: School Edition. This production will take place at ASC’s Black Box Theatre on Sunset Drive, playing four performances over one weekend from March 10th to 12th. Rent: School Edition is a teen-appropriate version of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award musical by Jonathan Larson first produced on Broadway in 1994. Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, the show takes us through 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 disease poses a ticking clock to four of the play’s main characters, including guitarist Roger, who has reacted to his diagnosis by trying to shut out the world. Originally considered groundbreaking for its contemporary pop-rock score and edgy subject matter, the musical is one that reinvigorated the art form and made a lasting cultural impact. The ASC team is excited to offer a new generation of performers a chance to explore this timeless story of love, loss, and living life to the fullest, as well as to share it with a new generation of audiences. Further details about the production are as follows:
