Rent (School Edition) was performed at Queen Mary’s Hall, Queen Mary’s College over three nights, four performances.  There were a few dissenting voices when the show was initially discussed by the Committee, and also by some of our previous casts’ parents due to the topics covered in the storyline – however, it was decided to go ahead and we are so glad it did.  The show stretched the acting abilities of the 13 – 18 year-old cast members (our first show with an lower age limit) like no other BNG production had ever done. 

During the 8-month rehearsal period, the committee experienced at least 2 house moves, an engagement, 3 changes of jobs, 1 graduation and 2 completed their teacher-training.
