Event Description

YMTS brings to life the Rock Opera Rent at the Alhambra this year with
their young company aged from 12. YMTS are dedicated to the development
of children and young people, and those who help them learn, through
creative learning opportunities. The Company works throughout Scotland
and the North of England offering workshops and skills building programmes
alongside fully staged production projects. Every child is welcome to apply to
join and we never audition to take part.

This years major project is Rent which tells the story of one year in the life
of a group of bohemians struggling in modern day East Village New York.
The story centers around Mark and Roger, two roommates. While a former
tragedy has made Roger numb to life, Mark tries to capture it through his
attempts to make a film. In the year that follows, the group deals with love,
loss, AIDS, and modern day life in one truly powerful story.

Based on Puccini’s ‘La Boheme’, ‘Rent’ tells the story of one year in the life
of friends living the Bohemian life in modern day East Village, New York City,
1989-1990.
