NAU Theatre and Kitt School of Music Present RENT

Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer Prize winning musical RENT, hit Broadway by storm 26 years ago and it continues to resonate for audiences. Loosely based on Puccini’s “La Bohème,” RENT tells the story of young artists struggling to survive as creatives in New York City under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. Through the darkness of poverty, disease, and tragedy, RENT makes clear that our lives lose meaning without a community to give testimony.
