About the play
Winner of the Tony Award for best musical and the Pulitzer Prize for drama, 鈥淩ent鈥� has
become a pop culture phenomenon.
Loosely based on Puccini's 鈥淟a Boheme,鈥� Jonathan Larson's 鈥淩ent鈥� follows a year in the lives of a group of young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create on the Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. The physical and emotional toll of the disease shapes the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen copes with her chronic infidelity through performance art, while her partner, Joanne, questions whether their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has traded his bohemian ideals for financial success, straining his ties with former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life itself.
How these young bohemians navigate their dreams, relationships and conflicts forms the emotional core of this groundbreaking musical.
Performances will be November 13-15 and 20-22 at 7:30 p.m. Online ticket sales will be announced soon.
