Rent Closing?

Posted: 3/7/06 at 11:10pm

sorry if this was posted before or something, i swear i searched around and couldn't find anything.

-My friend is going around saying she has tickets for rent this summer (i think may or june) and that it is also the closing night. That kinda startled me because i haven't heard anything about it closing, and i still can't find anything on it. So, i don't really believe her, but you never know. Can someone tell what the truth is? lol

NO! RENT is not closing.

It has absolutly no reason to close, and your friend is a liar

(Martha Graham from a letter to Agnes de Mille) "There is a vitality, a life force, a quickening That is translated through you into action, And because there is only one of you in all time, This expression is unique. If you block it, It will never exist through any other medium And be lost. The world will never have it. It is not your business to determine how good it is, Nor how valuable it is, Nor how it compares with other expressions. It is your business to keep it yours, clearly and directly, To keep the channel open. You do not even have to believe in yourself or your work. You have to keep open and aware Directly to the urges that motivate you. Keep the channel open. No artist is pleased. There is no satisfaction whatever at any time. There is only a queer, divine dissatisfaction, A blessed unrest that keeps us marching And makes us more alive than others."

the truth is not to believe everything you hear.

It would make no sense to close... but you scared me for a minute when I saw the topic on the board!

i think you can only buy tickets up until July, eventually more will go on sale, so maybe she just thought it was the final performance

Em, I'm with you on that one. Any room for me on the wall, or should I just take the floor?

I have lots of wall-space.

Did anyone notice that in June, the Rent goes up in price on Fri-Sat performances?

As of now tickets are only on sale for Rent up until July. This does not mean that the show is closing. They release tickets in blocks. This is probably what is confusing your friends.

Héhé.

In the weeks after any announcement of RENT closing, this forum will just be wall-to-wall of various RENT threads. Helen Keller wouldn't be able to miss it!

Since RENT draws a young audience, it would be foolish to close the show at the beginning of summer recess.

Rent was almost 99 percent full last week. Somehow, I think it will be sticking around for a while.

Haha thanks ashley0139, I could use some of those pillows. But I think this thread gave me more of a headache than hitting my head on the wall!
