Photo Flash: American Stage's RENT

American Stage Theatre Company will produce the Broadway smash hit musical that defined a generation, RENT, during the theatre's 26th anniversary production of American Stage in the Park, April 13 thru May 8. Pay What You Can nights are April 13 and 14. Gala Under the Stars will be April 15 (fundraiser event). RENT is written by Jonathan Larson. Bring Your Dog Night is April 14 and Bike Nights are every Wednesday.

Winner of the 1996 Pulitzer Prize, RENT is the hit rock musical that changed the face of theatre forever! The emotionally stirring story follows a year (that's 525,600 minutes for the uninitiated) in the lives of a community of young artists, all struggling to live and celebrate the disappearing bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village in the '90s. Don't miss the chance to experience why there's truly "No Day But Today."

RENT is directed by Eric Davis (HAIR) and stars Clint Harris (HAIR), LuLu Picard (HAIR), Brandii (MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM), Alex Covington (HAIR), Stephen Ray (MA RAINEY'S BLACK BOTTOM), Ryan Michael Owens, Alison Burns, Ricky Cona, Cranstan Cumberbatch, Joel Gennari, Amy E. Gray and Pete Zicky.
