Ring Round the Moon
By Jean Anouilh, Adapted by Christopher Fry
Glamour, romance, intrigue, and laughs!  This enchanting and witty comic tale centers on wealthy twin brothers: Frederic, who is shy and sensitive, and Hugo, who is aggressive and scheming.  To prevent Frederic from entering into a loveless marriage, Hugo devises a plan to save him. The result is a clever mix of comedy and drama, filled with mistaken identities, misguided love affairs, and an unexpectedly happy ending.
Appropriate for all ages.

RENT
Book, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson
Winner of the Pulitzer Prize and the Tony Award for Best Musical, the Broadway phenomenon RENT has become a modern-day classic.  Set in New York’s East Village in the 1990s, RENT follows a year in the life of a group of friends struggling to make it in the big city.  With an unforgettable rock score (including the iconic song “Seasons of Love”) and a story that resonates across generations, RENT is a ground-breaking musical that reminds us there’s “No Day But Today.” 
Suggested for ages 14 and over due to language and adult content.
