The 1996 Pulitzer Prize and Tony Award Winning Best Musical!
Based loosely on Puccini's La Boheme, this rock opera mega-hit follows a year
in the lives and relationships of eight friends. Set in the mid-90's, the AIDS
epidemic has taken root among these struggling "Bohemian artists" of New York
city's East Village. Yes, it will be the same great songs... and yes, it will be
the same great story and characters... but our production will not be the "same
old RENT". This time we are telling the story... the Elden Street Players' way.

cast or
crew?

A Regional Premier Production
The last house in the beautiful new suburban development of Green
Meadows has been bought, and the neighbors think the new couple is a
perfect fit for their close little community. Or are they? It is always
fun to discover a clever mystery that hasn’t been done to death - so to
speak. This little gem spins a web of deception, sex, murder and mind
games as two suburban couples discover their darker sides.

| FROZEN
by Bryony Lavery
Directed by Carla Scopeletis
Angry, humane and compassionate, this is an extraordinary play that
entwines the lives of a murderer, the mother of one of his victims
and his psychologist to explore our capacity for forgiveness,
remorse and change after an act that would seem to rule them out
entirely.
Opens January 28 (Auditions November 7 & 8)

THRILL ME!
a musical by Stephen Dolginoff
Directed by Lorraine Magee and Music Directed by Scott Richards
The story of Leopold and Loeb, the Chicago “Thrill Killers” of 1924,
is as horrible and gruesomely fascinating as a multi-car pile up on
the interstate. Nominated for several “Best Musical” awards, “Thrill
Me” is as uncompromising and unsettling as its subjects.
Opens March 25 (Auditions January 2 & 3)

| A Community Theatre Area Premiere
LIFE X 3
by Yasmina Reza
Directed by Meg Miller
From the playwright of ‘ART’ and “God of Carnage, comes another
witty and acerbic play contrasting man's ability to analyze and map
the outermost reaches of the universe with his total inability to
respond rationally to the most trivial domestic mishap, and examines
how the slightest random event can effortlessly derail the most
elaborately laid plan.
Opens June 3 (Auditions April 3 & 4)
