Today4U Tomorrow 4 Iron Crow Theatre: An Interview with Artistic Director Sean Elias on Landing Rent at The M&T Bank Exchange Performance Space

Interviews February 9, 2024 Amanda N. Gunther

In daylights, in sunsets, in midnight, in cups of coffee— in inches, in miles, in laughter, and strife!

The beautiful ephemeral nature of theatre is that it lingers on in our hearts long after the last curtain drops. And rarely do audiences get such an extraordinary chance to see a sold-out performance, which was so popular, it had to be extended. It had to be extended half-way across town to a brand new space!

Rent at Iron Crow Theatre

Reviews January 25, 2024 Leonard Taube

By now most of us have heard of the musical RENT and may have even seen a production (or more), and/or possibly even caught the movie version of Jonathan Larson’s brilliant masterpiece which chronicles the lives of several struggling young artists/activists/musicians in New York set against the backdrop of the AIDS epidemic. With roots loosely in the 1896 opera La Boheme, Larson’s tale is set in the then-thriving Alphabet City in Lower Manhattan’s East Village in New York.

Forget regret. Or life is yours to miss— no day but today… and tomorrow, Sunday, and next weekend. Those are the chances you have to see Rent at The State Theater of Havre de Grace.

Rent at ArtsCentrics

Reviews August 8, 2022 Joshua Bermont

One would think that even 26 years after its creation, Jonathan Larson’s opus Rent would be more relevant than ever in these days of widespread poverty, desperation, unction toward landlords, and overall societal decline. It certainly seems to be evergreen due to its inherent diversity, minimalist set, and countercultural appeal. Nevertheless, from the pre-show playlist to the excessive flannel of the costumes, ArtsCentric’s production – Directed by Kevin S. McAllister – has a strong feeling of romantic anachronism,

Reviews November 13, 2019 Amanda N. Gunther

How can you connect in an age when strangers, landlords,
lovers, your own blood cells betray? What binds the fabric together when the
raging, shifting winds of change keep ripping away? RENT! While often
appreciated as somewhat of a “period piece” or an iconic stamp in musical
theatre history, now entering its 25th years (in the fourth
incarnation of the 20th Anniversary Tour), Rent is still
incredibly relevant to today and all that’s happening around us in our 525,600
minutes.
