Rent: 20th Anniversary Tour

A re-imagining of Puccini's La Bohème, a landmark in its depiction of AIDS, an awards magnet, and a contributor of modern classic to the vocal repertoire, RENT had been a force to be reckoned with since its 1996 debut. The story follows an unforgettable year in the lives of seven artists struggling to follow their dreams without selling out. With its inspiring message of joy and hope in the face of fear, this timeless celebration of friendship and creativity reminds us to measure our lives with the only thing that truly matters—love. (But if you can pick three things, love, a Tony award, and a Pulitzer prize). $30-$156. Times and details at saengernola.com.
