Audition for a role in SPCT's spring 2023 production of Rent. Loosely based on Puccini's La Boheme, the musical follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young bohemians living in New York's Lower East Side. Struggling to survive and create, each of these young artists and musicians must learn to negotiate their dreams under the shadow of HIV and AIDS.

Roles include: 

• Roger - a struggling musician and former drug addict
• Mark  - a filmmaker and video artist
• Tom  - a computer genius and liberal professor
• Benjamin - the landlord of Mark and Roger's apartment building
• Joanne  - a public interest lawyer and headstrong lesbian
• Angel  - the eccentric HIV-positive street drummer and drag queen
• Mimi  - An HIV-positive stripper with drug addictions
• Maureen  - An unpredictably zany performance artist
• Ensemble of Homeless Men & Women; Junkies; Parents (Mrs. Cohen, Mr. & Mrs. Jefferson); Support Group (Steve, Gordon)

Due to the adult themes in the production, the minimum age to audition will be 16 years old (no exceptions). Preference will be given to adult actors. For those under 18, parent or guardian consent will be required. Roles and scenes for those under 18 will be limited.
