    YMTC to Present the Rock Musical Rent, November 3–10 in El Cerrito

    Youth Musical Theater Company FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Press Inquiries: Laura Soble/YMTC Phone 510-595-5514 Email: [email protected] Website: https://www.ymtcbayarea.org YMTC to Present the Rock Musical Rent, November 3–10 in El Cerrito Berkeley, California, September 27, 2019—Youth Musical Theater Company (YMTC) will launch its 15th season of acclaimed regional theater with the rock musical Rent. The show opens Sunday, November 3, at the Performing Arts Theater, 540 Ashbury Ave., El Cerrito. Its run consists of a 5:00 p.m. opening (11/3), two 2:00 p.m. matinees (11/9, 11/10), and three 7:30 p.m. performances (11/7, 11/8, 11/9). Rent is a rock opera loosely based on Puccini’s La Boheme, with music, lyrics, and book by Jonathan Larson. Set in Lower Manhattan’s East Village during the turmoil of the AIDS crisis, this moving story chronicles the lives of a group of struggling artists over a year’s time. Its major themes are community, friendship, and survival. In 1996, Rent received four Tony Awards, including Best Musical; six Drama Desk Awards; and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama. In 1997, it won the Grammy Award for Best Musical Show Album. Its Broadway run lasted 12 years. Co-Director Jennifer Boesing comments, “Rent is a love story and a bold, brazen manifesto for young artists who are trying not just to stay alive, but to stay connected to each other, when the mainstream culture seems to be ignoring signs of destruction all around them. Although the show today is a period piece about a very specific historical moment—well before the earliest memories of our young performing artists—they relate to it deeply just the same.

  • Jonathan Larson

    Famous New Yorker Jonathan Larson As a playwright, Jonathan Larson could not have written a more dramatic climax than the real, tragic climax of his own story, one of the greatest success stories in modern American theater history. Larson was born in White Plains, Westchester County, on February 4, 1960. He sang in his school choir, played tuba in the band, and was a lead actor in his high school theater company. With a scholarship to Adelphi University, he learned musical composition. After earning a Fine Arts degree, Larson had to wait tables, like many a struggling artist, to pay his share of the rent in a poor New York City apartment while honing his craft. In the 1980s and 1990s, Larson worked in nearly every entertainment medium possible. He won early recognition for co-writing the award-winning cabaret show Saved!, but his rock opera Superbia, inspired by The original Broadway Rent poster George Orwell’s novel 1984, was never fully staged in Larson’s lifetime. Scaling down his ambitions, he performed a one-man show called tick, tick … BOOM! in small “Off -Broadway” theaters. In between major projects, Larson composed music for children’s TV shows, videotapes and storybook cassette tapes. In 1989, playwright Billy Aronson invited Larson to compose the music for a rock opera inspired by La Bohème, a classical opera about hard-living struggling artists in 19th century Paris. Aronson wanted to tell a similar story in modern New York City. His idea literally struck Larson close to home. Drawing on his experiences as a struggling musician, as well as many friends’ struggles with the AIDS virus, Larson wanted to do all the writing himself.

    Sweat, by Lynn Nottage, Was Developed by Co-Commission from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’S American Revolutions: the United States History Cycle and Arena Stage

    Sweat, by Lynn Nottage, was developed by co-commission from the Oregon Shakespeare Festival’s American Revolutions: The United States History Cycle and Arena Stage. The play is centered on the working class of Reading, Pennsylvania. Lynn Nottage began working on the play in 2011 by interviewing numerous residents of Reading, Pennsylvania, which at the time was, according to the United States Census Bureau, officially one of the poorest cities in America, with a poverty rate of over 40%. Nottage has said that she was particularly influenced by a New York Times article reporting on the city specifically, and by the Occupy Wall Street movement more generally. She explored the effects on residents of the loss of heavy industry and the changing ethnic composition of the city. Shifting in time between 2000 and 2008, taking place mostly in the local bar, Sweat tells the story of a group of friends, who have spent their lives sharing drinks, secrets, and laughs while working together on the factory floor. When layoffs and picket lines begin to chip away at their trust, the friends find themselves pitted against each other in a heart-wrenching fight to stay afloat. “…a cautionary tale of what happens when you don’t know how to resist.” – Time Out New York “Nottage feels that what unifies her plays is their “morally ambiguous heroes or heroines, people who are fractured within their own bodies, who have to make very difficult choices in order to survive.”… The plays also give voice to marginalized lives.” – The New Yorker Winner of the 2017 Pulitzer Prize for Drama On her research and approach to developing the play while in Reading, Nottage adopted the motto, “Replace judgement with curiosity.” It would be tested.
