I realized this morning that 1,000 people have either seen RENT at Theatre Alliance, or have bought tickets to see it.  That's damn impressive.

I'm not plugging it — it doesn't need plugging, but if you are in the Triad, you really don't want to miss it.  Info in the right column…..

The piano-only preview performance above doesn't begin to do justice to the cast's talents.

But it's just a tease….
