1993.  New York.  Christmas Eve.
Roger, a musician and songwriter, and Mark, a videographer, share an industrial loft in lower Manhattan's Alphabet City where electricity is sporadic and heat non-existent.  When Aids-infected exotic dancer, Mimi, knocks on the door asking for her candle to be lit, three very different love stories begin to be told over the period of one year, or four seasons, or five hundred twenty five thousand six hundred minutes.

Henry Murger wrote "La Vie De Bohème" inspiring Giacomo Puccini to write LaBohème inspiring Jonathan Larson to write Rent inspiring Baldwin-Wallace College to present LaBohème and Rent in repertory for the first time anywhere in the world.

Artists inspiring artists.  Violins inspiring electric guitars.  Opera aficionados inspiring musical theatre RENTheads.  Come -- be inspired.
