"Rent" Tickets Going On Sale Soon

They're already cranking up the promotion for the upcoming production of Rent in Charleston.

Here's the latest press release from today's edition of the Herald-Dispatch:

Tickets will soon go on sale for the Charleston Light Opera Guild’s production of Rent.

Show dates are 8 p.m. July 31-Aug. 1, 3 p.m. Aug. 2, 8 p.m. Aug. 6-8, at the Charleston Civic Center Little Theatre.

Tickets are $20.

Charleston Light Opera Guild will be one of the very first theatre groups to be granted rights to produce Rent outside of Broadway and the Broadway tour.

Rent is a rock opera that tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side in the thriving days of Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of AIDS.

Tickets are expected to go fast, so it's not a bad idea to reserve them in advance. Words to the wise!
