Set in the East Village of New York City, RENT is about falling in love, finding your voice, and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, RENT has become a pop cultural phenomenon, with songs that rock and a story that resonates with audiences of all ages. Based loosely on Puccini’s La Boheme, Jonathan Larson’s RENT follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflict provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.

Tickets are SOLD OUT for our production! Thank you to everyone who bought tickets, we can’t wait to perform for you!

She was recently seen in Two’s Company, Three’s Broadway: Memorable Duets and Trios and is thrilled to be back for an even more powerful show. Ana is a third grade teacher at Pine Run Elementary, where she started the school’s theater program last year so her students could discover the same love and joy for performing that she found as a child. She is grateful to her family, friends, and colleagues for coming out to support her—and for helping skyrocket those ticket sales (ker-ching ker-ching!). She gives a special thanks to the incredible cast, whose talent and teamwork make this experience so meaningful, and a heartfelt shoutout to Ed, Mark, Ash, Rose, Paul, and Carolyn for their behind the scenes dedication and at every rehearsal.
