SCHENECTADY — For a quarter of a century, Jonathan Larson’s RENT has inspired audiences to choose love over fear and to live without regret.
The Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize-winning phenomenon follows a year in the lives of a diverse group of artists and friends struggling to follow their dreams without selling out.
Tours of RENT have crisscrossed the country almost continuously since 1996, with the latest tour playing five countries, 237 cities, and 1,005 performances. RENT received its world premiere off-Broadway at New York Theatre Workshop on Feb. 13, 1996 and transferred to Broadway three months later.
The 25th Anniversary “Farewell Season of Love” is a final chance to experience the celebrated touring production. Shows will be staged Friday, Feb. 11 and Saturday, Feb. 12 at Proctors, in Schenectady.
Tickets are available through the Box Office at Proctors, in person or via phone at 518-346-6204 Monday-Friday 10 a.m.-2 p.m. or online at Proctors.org.
