When one door closes, another door opens. So it is for the Broadway show, RENT, the multi-award winning hit musical, which finished its run on Broadway on September 7.
Now, school, community and regional theatrical productions of RENT will bring the words and music of playwright Jonathan Larson, to an even greater audience. It will also bring an increased number of opportunities for Marfan syndrome awareness.
The NMF worked closely with the licensing group to ensure that information about Marfan syndrome is included in the packet that local groups receive when they are going to stage the performance.
The drama club at Temescal Canyon High School, in Lake Elsinore, CA, is one group that is taking advantage of this opportunity for Marfan syndrome education. You can read about how RENT was more than a theater production for these students in their local paper, The North County Times.
