Garfield High School is proud to present Jonathan Larson’s groundbreaking rock-opera Rent. Set in New York city during the HIV crises of the 1990’s, Rent follows a year in the lives of Alphabet City’s bohemian residents as they struggle with issues of AIDS, sexuality, homelessness, and economic hardship. Although Rent deals with weighty and often controversial subject matter, its overall message is one of love, hope, and the triumph of the human spirit.
Garfield will be the first high school in Washington to perform Rent as it was originally intended, in its full and uncensored form. GHS students are known for their history of challenging widely held beliefs and opening up discussions in response to contemporary issues prevalent within our society. These students are involved in every aspect of the production, from the choreography to the pit orchestra to the set and costume designers. We invite you to come experience the culmination of their efforts at one of the many performances taking place in May.
Show dates are May 20, 21, 21, 27, 28, 29, 30 at 7:00 in the Quincy Jones Performance Hall, 400 23rd Ave Seattle, WA, 98122
Tickets can be purchased at the door or online at www.showtix4u.com
