Get ready to rock with Blackfriars Theatre for the show that set the tone of the modern musical, running July 19-28. Anyone who’s a fan of American musical theatre knows the bittersweet story of Rent, and how its catapult into fame coincided with its young and promising writer’s untimely death the day before opening. So how, almost thirty years later, is this piece about such a specific moment in history still so relevant to young theatre lovers? “To people who were young adults during the 90s, Rent was the first time we saw ourselves reflected in musical theatre in our own time, with our own music, in our own culture,” says Blackfriars artistic director, Brynn Tyszka. “Though the subject matter can feel a bit dated to us now—after all, we all know at this point that you DO have to pay rent—there is something about this music and these characters and the literal life-or-death struggles they’re facing that pull us right back in again and again. For the younger artists attacking this material today, they can still relate to the bohemian optimism combined with a rebellious sense of anarchy that allows them to exist in a place of power and truly believe that anything is possible … even in the face of great loss.”

According to Shakey's website, this pizza parlor is only in California, North Carolina, and Washington state in the U.S. now. This was my family's go-to pizza joint when my father was stationed with the Air Force outside of Omaha, Nebraska. We liked it so much, that when we were transferred again, it was hopeful we'd find another one.
