Set in New York City’s East Village during the height of the HIV/AIDS epidemic, the themes of “RENT” revolve around friendship, the power of love, and the pursuit of meaning in the face of the unpredictable fragility of life.

Written by the acclaimed scribe John Patrick Shanley “Doubt: A Parable” is a compelling, introspective one-act play set within the confines of a 1964 Catholic school, Saint Nicholas in the Bronx, New York. Just under 90 minutes the play sounds the depths of the complex themes of doubt and faith, morality and truth, and power dynamics in institutions.
