Theatre at Grand Valley and Heritage Theatre Group present the premiere West Michigan production of
 Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jonathon Larson
Rent, “a raw and riveting milestone in musical theater” (Rolling Stone) tells the story of struggling artists and the American Dream. Loosely based on Puccini’s’ opera La Boheme, Rent explores the real-life story of a multi-ethnic people with modern day problems with a message of embracing your life in the moment that is timeless. Rent is an emotionally charged musical that captures an audience and doesn’t let go until the last note has faded. This joint production with Grand Rapids Heritage Theatre Group directed by Manley Pope will take the musical back to its New York Theatre Workshop roots for a raw and emotional experience. Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award.
This production contains mature content comparable to a PG-13 rating in film. There is a special 11 PM performance added for November 20 in addition to the 7:30 PM performance.
Director Manley Pope will also give a special benefit concert on Monday, August 16.
