Texas State University's Theatre Department will stage Rent later this month. Rent is one of the longest-running musicals in Broadway history. Jacqueline Davis has more in this Bobcat Update.

The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award winning musical, "Rent," will be performed at the university for the first time. And it will be the second musical production staged in the Patti Harrison Theatre inside the university's new Performing Arts building.
"Rent" is about young artists in New York City battling AIDS. The actors and production managers have been spending a lot of time in preparation. Assistant Production Manager Quinton Sanders says the musical may offer the unexpected for some people.

As the actors spend hours each day rehearsing lines, the technical crew, managers, directors, and assistant directors have been working hard as well. They have been perfecting the lighting, painting the props and platforms, and carefully selecting the right costumes. Lighting Director Sarah Maines says the new theatre offers several advantages.

The musical will be performed from Tuesday, October seventh, through Saturday, October eleventh, at 7:30 P-M, and on Sunday October 12th at 2:00 and 7:30 P-M. Tickets can be purchased at the Box Office, located inside the Theatre Building. General admission is 18-dollars while student admission will go for eight. For Bobcat Update, I'm Jacqueline Davis.
