RENT

CYC Theatre presents the first local production of the smash Broadway hit, "RENT," at the Lyceum Theatre in Horton Plaza! Based loosely on the opera La Bohemme, RENT chronicles a year in the lives of a handful of friends struggling with life, love, art, homelessness and AIDS in 1990's New York. Jonathan Larson's rock-opera includes such favorites as "Seasons of Love," "One Song Glory," "Light My Candle" and "No Day But Today."  Directed by Shaun T. Evans and Karole Foreman. SPECIAL NOTE: Though CYC is a training theatre for serious young performers, this is NOT the "School Edition" version being presented by high schools and children's theatres. This is the full, unedited version featuring both amateur and professional performers. RENT contains strong language and mature content. For mature audiences.

JAZZ QUEENS CAST BLUE SHADOWS

By Anthony Drummond and Floyd Gaffney
Directed by Hassan El-Amin

A World Premiere Jazz Musical about
Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday

Jazz Queens Cast Blue Shadows

Jazz divas Dinah Washington and Billie Holiday have truly influenced all jazz and pop singers who have followed them to the stage. Jazz Queens Cast Blue Shadows visits both women in performance and follows them backstage or back in time to see how they reached the top of the musical world. Both struggled against racism and sexism to reach the top of the entertainment world and both died tragically at an early age from substance abuse. But above all, we hear them both sing the glorious jazz standards they made famous – tunes such as “What A Difference A Day Makes”, “This Bitter Earth”, “God Bless The Child”, “Is You Is Or Is You Ain’t My Baby”, “My Man” and “Good Mornin' Heartache.”

FOR MATURE AUDIENCES - strong language and adult situations.
