The University of Hawaiʻi<\/span> at Hilo<\/a>\u2019s Performing Arts Center presents Rent<\/em>, an inspiring Broadway musical set in New York that follows a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create under the shadow of HIV\/AIDS<\/abbr>.<\/p>\n

Rent<\/em> is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Loosely based on Giacomo Puccini’s opera La Boheme<\/em>, this is theater at its best—exuberant, passionate and joyous.<\/p>\n

Rent<\/em>, the winner of a Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, incorporates rock songs and a storyline that resonates with audiences of all ages. It is directed by Justina Mattos<\/strong>, musically directed by Trever Veilleux<\/strong> and choreographed by Celeste Staton<\/strong> and Kea Kapahua<\/strong>.<\/p>\n
