CCT Pre-Professional Conservatory Presents the Production of Rent

Columbus Children’s Theatre Presents A CCT Pre-Professional Summer Conservatory Production Rent

Jonathan Larson's Pulitzer-prize winning Broadway musical is loosely based on Puccini's opera La Bohème. It follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom, and Angel; Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part.

About the CCT Pre-Professional Summer Conservatory

Columbus Children’s Theatre normally produces theatre for young audiences. However, every July CCT produces a show that is performed by the CCT Pre-Professional Company.  This company is comprised of High School and College students through the age of 21.  All of these young people plan to pursue a career in the theatre arts and usually musical theatre in particular.  Every July we offer them a chance to perform in a show that is often more difficult and challenging than what they are offered through other venues.  Also, this gives CCT the opportunity to step outside of the box and offer a show to a more mature audience, usually high school and older.  The quality of the production is always stellar and is very well received by the audience.
