Inspired by Puccini’s La Bohème, 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 the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the early 1990s.

For a quarter of a century, Jonathan Larson’s RENT has inspired us to choose love over fear and to live without regret.
