Conundrum Theatre Company presents RENT!
Show Synopsis: 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. The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general. How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
Conundrum Theatre Company's Mission: CTC's mission is to generate opportunities for experienced actors with traditional day jobs to create, produce, and perform in innovative, high-quality theatrical productions in Los Angeles County while building a collaborative, diverse community of writers and actors.

Conundrum Theatre Company invites you to join us in giving back to the community by participating in our Holiday Donation Drive!
If you are attending one of our performances of RENT we will have donation boxes in the lobby where you can drop off canned or packaged food, personal care items, or household & cleaning supplies. We encourage you to think of what you would like your family to receive, if you were in need.
Items will be donated to Burbank Temporary Aid Center, an organization not only helping those who are unhoused, but help prevent those with housing to become unhoused themselves. For more information go to burbanktemporaryaidcenter.org.
