RENT

Experience one of the most powerful plays of the last fifty years at Lyric Arts’ production of RENT. 2014 marks the 20th anniversary of the off-Broadway debut of this Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning musical. Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today.

Director Matt McNabb is thrilled to be involved in one of the most important plays of the 20th century. “The phrase that kept coming to mind is ‘cultural landmark.'” said McNabb, on the topic of RENT. “It won tons of Tony Awards, it won the Pulitzer prize for drama, and I feel that the power of RENT transcends theater; it touches on all aspects of American culture and art.”
