Based on Puccini's La Bohème, Rent resets the tale of struggling artists to New York City in the 1990's. Set against the AIDS epidemic and gentrification of the Lower East Side, Rent traces the friendships and loves of a group of artists as they find their voices in an uncertain world.

Designing the WBT production are Ken Larson (set design), Andrew Gmoser (lighting design), Jonathan Hatton (sound design) and Matthew Hemesath (costume design).
