McLean High School Theatre Company Presents ‘Rent’

The McLean High School Theatre Company will present its Cappie show, “Rent” (School Edition), April 4-6.

The show is a Pulitzer and Tony award-winning rock operetta based on Puccini’s opera, "La Bohéme."

Director Amy Poe and Music Director Bobby McCoy will lead the company.

The story follows the lives of young artists and professionals in New York as they struggle to survive through financial hardships, relationships and the tragedies associated with the HIV/AIDS epidemic.

Poe said in a statement, “I am so grateful to have the opportunity to work with the many talented and aspiring young adults with the maturity and intelligence to deal with the array of challenging problems in our modern world. We hope that our performance of Rent School Edition can, in some small way, make a big difference in our community.”

"Rent" School Edition features a live band and runs Thursday through Saturday, April 4-6, at 7 p.m. with a matinee Saturday, April 6, at 2:30 p.m. Performances will be held at McLean High School Theatre, 1633 Davidson Road, McLean.

Reserved tickets—$15 for adults, $12 for students—can be purchased at brownpapertickets.com or at the door beginning one hour before the show. Doors open 20 minutes before curtain. With mature themes and language, this show is most suitable for ages 13 and up.
