OU University Theatre presents RENT
Friday, November 22 at 8 p.m. or Sunday, November 24 at 3 p.m. and 8 p.m.

Set in NYC at the end of the last millennium during the height of the AIDS epidemic, before Giuliani “cleaned up” the city, before Disney took over 42nd street, before 9/11. New York City was grittier, cheaper, more intimate, and less gentrified, but still the center of the world - the epicenter of artistic expression. Written by the late Jonathan Larson, RENT is the Pulitzer Prize, Tony Award, and Drama Desk Award winning musical that redefined Broadway and challenges us to decide how we will measure our lives as artists, lovers, and humans.

Tickets on sale beginning November 4, 2024.
