Starting this Friday, the rock musical Rent will hit Fay School’s stage for six performances.
Despite the setting, it’s not being put on by students. It’s a production of A Common Thread Theatre Company out of Framingham.
The company promotes:
The groundbreaking rock musical by Jonathan Larson that premiered in 1996, loosely based on Puccini’s opera La Bohème, follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists, musicians, and filmmakers struggling to survive and create in New York City’s East Village under the shadow of the HIV/AIDS crisis.
The theater company is marketing it as part of their theme: “Bold Stories, Fierce Voices”.
On social media, the company shared:
From “Seasons of Love” to “La Vie Bohème,” our cast is bringing the absolute highest energy to the stage.
Monday, they posted this moving song clip from rehearsals:
