RENT is a revolutionary modern rock opera, updating Puccini's classic"La Boheme", and is widely considered the greatest rock musical of
modern times. Set in the late 1980's in New York City's Bohemian East
Village, this stirring musical tells the story of a group of
impoverished young artists, writers and musicians struggling to live
and pay their rent. "Measuring their lives in love," these starving
artists strive for success and acceptance while enduring the obstacles
of poverty, illness and loss; all while celebrating their creative
spirit, choosing to live life as if there is No Day But Today!
Described by Rolling Stone magazine as "a raw and riveting milestone in
musical theatre", RENT is Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer and Tony Award
winning musical, one of the longest running shows on Broadway.

Curtains is an old fashioned type of song and dance musical based on the original book and concept by Peter Stone, It is a musical send-up of backstage murder mystery plots, set in 1959 Boston, Massachusetts and follows the fallout when the supremely untalented star of Robbin' Hood of the Old West is murdered during her opening night curtain call. Can a police detective who moonlights as a musical theater fan save the show, solve the case, and maybe even find love before the show reopens, without getting killed?

| Daryl Grady |
