Review: RENT at Blackfriars Theatre

But in the ’90s, much of the wider pop culture was defined by “Rent”, Jonathan Larson’s magnum opus about young bohemians during the height of the AIDS crisis. It’s currently getting a heartfelt, well-produced rendition at Rochester’s Blackfriars Theatre for the company’s annual summer intensive program.
