Dickinson Country Community Theatre presents musical Rent, a rock opera by Jonathan Larson loosely based on the opera La Bohème. Rent is set in the East Village of New York City in the late 1980’s and follows the ups and downs of a year in the life of a group of impoverished, artistic friends. The group’s dreams, emotions, and struggles are portrayed in song as they deal with love, friendship, sexuality, drug addiction, and finding a voice under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
Rent has won critical acclaim and numerous awards, including a Pulitzer Prize and the Tony for Best Musical and Best Original Score. The show enjoyed a 12-year run on Broadway and has been performed in over 40 countries.
Please note that the show contains adult themes and language.
Rent will be performed January 25, 26, and 27 and February 1, 2, and, 3 at 7:00 pm at the Braumart Theatre in Iron Mountain.
