NO DAY BUT TODAY! Actor's Express is proud to announce its special sixth show to round out Season 39: RENT, produced in partnership with Oglethorpe University running from September 23- October 10, 2027. The Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award-winning musical that brought us exhilarating rock hits like “Take Me or Leave Me” and “La Vie Bohème,” RENT has captivated audiences for decades. As a group of young artists fight for their survival and dignity during the height of the AIDS crisis in New York, they find a bond in one another that carries them through the hardest seasons of life, and opens them up to the brightest seasons of love. SINGLE TICKETS ARE ON SALE NOW! From now until November 27, single tickets for orchestra seats are only $40 with the code EARLYBIRD. This is the lowest price that tickets for AE’s production of RENT will ever be, so don’t wait! Visit our website or call our box office to purchase your tickets today!
