Kahilu Theatre will present the cultural phenomenon musical, RENT, Saturday June 24 at &:00 p.m. and Sunday, June 25 at 3:00 p.m. After a pandemic-imposed hiatus, Kahilu’s celebrated Youth Troupe returns to the stage for this special production for two performances only.
The Kahilu Youth Troupe is led by veteran stage director Beth Bornstein Dunnington. They first presented Rent in 2013, and a few of those original cast members are participating in this 10th Anniversary production. Beth is joined by a talented team, including choreographer Angel Prince of Prince Dance Company, music director Maika’i Nash, and vocal coach Val Underwood, guiding a cast of professional and Youth Troupe members.
The rock musical Rent tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in Lower Manhattan’s East Village, under the shadow of the AIDS epidemic. It is based loosely on Giacomo Puccini’s La Bohème.
Tickets are sold at the door. For more information visit Kahilutheatre.org
