The Barn Theatre Presents the Tony Award Winning Musical RENT

The Barn Theatre is proud to present the Tony Award and Pulitzer Prize winning musical, “RENT”, January 13th thru January 30th, with a live band. Considered the most celebrated musical and cultural touchstone of today, “RENT” propelled musical theatre into a new era. Now celebrating its 25th anniversary, the Barn is the only theater in 2022 licensed in Florida to present it, and one of only eight theaters in the country. One of the longest-running shows on Broadway, “RENT” depicts young artists struggling to survive and create a life under the shadow of AIDS. From the words to the music, everything about the show drips with passion and emotion, including such iconic songs as Seasons of Love, Take Me or Leave Me, and LaVie Boheme. Jonathan Larson, the creator of “RENT,” passed away from a heart condition just before the show opened in 1997. Coincidentally, The Barn's own Technical Director and the Director of “RENT,” Bryan Childe, suffers from the same congeital heart condition. Bryan underwent successful cutting edge heart surgery this past summer to correct the congenital defect. The same surgical procedure was not available in 1997. In honor of Bryan, the Barn is donating a portion of “RENT” proceeds to the Jonathan Larson Performing Arts Foundation. Tickets for “RENT” are now on sale for only $35. Student and group discounts are available. Anticipating large ticket demand, the Barn has added three additional Saturday matinee performances. To purchase tickets, call 772-287-4884 or visit the Barn website at www.barn-theatre.com. Covid measures are in place.
