Local Students Perform in RENT School Edition at the White Plains Performing Arts Center
Middle and high school students from across Westchester and Fairfield Counties will be performing in RENT School Edition at the White Plains Performing Arts Center, April 25 – 27. The show is a production of the region’s premiere theatrical training organization, the WPPAC Conservatory Theatre.
Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, RENT School Edition follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York's Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT School Edition is about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, it has become a pop cultural phenomenon with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages.
This adaptation has been carefully done, working with Jonathan Larson’s estate to retain the dramatic intent of the groundbreaking rock musical.
