Free RENT!!
by Liberry Shortstack
Free rent! You see this on signs outside apartment complexes, all the time. Tomorrow evening, come to the Downtown Library's Multi-Purpose Room for free Rent of a different kind.
As part of its 25th Anniversary season, the University of Michigan Department of Musical Theatre is thrilled to be one of the first regional companies to produce the theatrical phenomenon musical Rent by Jonathan Larson.
Join us at the Downtown Library Multi-Purpose Room on Wednesday, September 24 from 7:00 to 8:30 pm as Mark Madama, Associate Professor of Musical Theatre at the University of Michigan (and the director of the upcoming UM production) discusses Rent and the reasons why it has become such an important part of musical theater history. He will also describe the upcoming UM production and, as a special treat, cast members will perform selections from the musical (which begins its run on October 16)
Downtown Library Multi-Purpose Room, 7:00 – 8:30 pm
And if tomorrow's presentation isn't quite enough Rent for you, check out these Rent-related items in the Library's collection.
We've got the RENT music CD, the DVD of the screen version of RENT, and a print version with music and lyrics.
