Art House Productions presentsRENT: The Musical
Book, Music, and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
Thursday, September 24 - Sunday, October 18, 2026
Experience the groundbreaking Tony Award-winning musical and Pulitzer Prize-winning drama that defined a generation. Presented at Art House Productions during the 30th anniversary year of its original premiere, RENT follows a vibrant community of artists, musicians, and dreamers in New York City's East Village as they pursue their passions, navigate love and loss, and strive to make a meaningful impact on the world around them.
Set against the backdrop of the AIDS crisis, poverty, addiction, economic uncertainty, and a rapidly changing city, these artists discover the power of friendship, the importance of creative expression, and the enduring strength of community. Featuring iconic songs and an unforgettable rock score, RENT celebrates resilience, human connection, and the transformative role of the arts in times of hardship.
This production is especially meaningful as part of Art House Productions' 25th Anniversary Season. Founded in the wake of September 11, 2001, Art House was created to bring people together through the arts during a time of profound loss and uncertainty. Thirty years after its premiere, RENT remains as relevant, timeless, and inspiring as ever, reminding us all to measure our lives in love.
