It's la vie boheme, on Long Island. Rent original cast member Adam Pascal is currently directing a production of the Jonathan Larson musical on Long Island, which is also where he grew up. The production is being staged by From Stage To Screen Studios and presented at Five Towns College on Long Island, July 28–30. See footage of Pascal in rehearsal with the cast above. 

As Pascal previously told Playbill, he had been toying with the idea of directing and he had hoped that when he did, Rent would be the first show. Now he's gotten his wish and it's been an emotional time for the actor. "I get choked up during rehearsal at times when I'm watching these kids," he says. "Now, whether I'm getting choked up legitimately at what they're doing in the moment, or I'm getting choked up because it's evoking a memory of my own of my experience in this show...? It's two-fold."

Pascal cast the entire show, going over the 600 audition applications from around the country. The production has expanded the ensemble to about 25 so that they could include more of the enthusiastic auditioners. See another rehearsal clip below, as the cast of Rent at From Stage To Screen Studios sing "Seasons of Love."
