Jonathan Larson’s rock musical, Rent, will be on stage at the OFC Creations Theatre Center from October 8 through 17. Directed by Judith Ranaletta, the production features a cast of professional adult actors. This show is appropriate for ages 13 and up.
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.
Partnering with Trillium Health, OFC’s production of Rent focuses on reflecting, recommitting, reenergizing, and reengaging to end the HIV epidemic. This year marks 40 years since the first five cases of what later became known as AIDS were officially reported. The production will include an interactive fundraiser for Broadway Cares / Equity Fights AIDS in OFC’s lobby at each of the performances.
Live in-person performances will take place on Friday, October 8, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, October 9, at 7:30 p.m.; Sunday, October 10, at 2 p.m.; Friday, October 15, at 7:30 p.m.; Saturday, October 16, at 7:30 p.m.; and Sunday, October 17, at 2 p.m. at the OFC Creations Theatre Center, 3450 Winton Place, Rochester.
