Set in the southwest of America, this toe-tapping musical produced by Phoenix Ensemble is sure to raise the roof and have you smiling ear to ear! Following the story of Ren and his mother as they move from Chicago to a small farming town, he is prepared for the inevitable adjustment period at his new high school. But what he is not prepared for is the rigorous local edicts, including a ban on dancing instituted by the local preacher, who is determined to exercise control over the town's youth.  When the Reverend's rebellious daughter sets her sights on Ren, her roughneck boyfriend tries to sabotage Ren's reputation, with many of the locals eager to believe the worst about the new kid.

Review: RENT: The Musical // LPD Productions

RENT tells the story of struggling artists, the horrors of addiction and the importance of relationships. In LPD Productions' rendition of this timeless classic the heart and soul is at the forefront. This production exceeds the five-star rating and is an absolute must see.  Based on Puccini’s beloved opera  La Bohème ,  RENT  follows the ups and downs of a year in the life of a group of impoverished, artistic friends living in Manhattan’s East Village (Alphabet City). Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, struggles to find his place in the world; his roommate Roger, an HIV-positive musician, wonders how he will leave his mark before he dies. Mimi and Angel look for true love as they face the harsh reality of life as HIV-positive young people, while the businesslike Joanne seeks fidelity from her wild-child performance artist girlfriend Maureen. The group’s dreams, losses, and love stories weave through the musical’s narration to paint a stunningly raw and emo...
