Silhouette Stages presents Pulitzer Prize and
Tony Award-winning musical: “RENT” October
25 – November 4
(Columbia, MD) – Silhouette Stages (SSI) proudly presents its fall production of Jonathan Larson’s Pulitzer
Prize and Tony Award-winning musical/rock opera “Rent,” October 25 to November 4, 2012, in Wilde Lake
Village Center’s Slayton House Theater.
Susan G. Kramer directs – with Stacey Antoine as musical director and Brandon Sinclair as choreographer – the musical that changed Broadway forever. Set in the Lower East Village of New York City, “Rent” has become a pop cultural phenomenon featuring one of the most memorable rock scores in American musical theatre history. Based on Puccini's La Bohème, “Rent” follows a year in the life of a group of friends; bohemian artists struggling to survive and create in New York’s Alphabet City, under the shadow of
HIV/AIDS.
Larson’s ahead-of-its-time story bravely takes on an age-old narrative; the search for love, acceptance,
freedom and identity, while faced with fear, illness, betrayal and loss.
