"RENT" is the stage production that follows a year in the lives of struggling young artists in New York’s East Village as they face love, loss and the impact of disease.
Loosely based on Puccini’s "La Bohème," this rock musical is a powerful tribute to creativity, resilience and living the Bohemian life.
The show is hosted and produced by Compass Rose Theater, in partnership with Anne Arundel Community College's Department of Performing Arts.
