It has been wonderful to witness the early seeds being planted for this production, and this concert is a celebration of these folks coming together as artists to start their journey with Rent." Uncompromising Artistry Productions was founded by Samantha Cunha, Erin Mizer and Michael Quadrino. Their goal is to "create opportunities for rising theatre artists. They strive to provide management support that allows our artists to focus solely on their creative process."
