Video Preview Of "Rent" Released By Bucks County Playhouse

NEW HOPE, PA — Bucks County Playhouse has released a new video preview from its bold new production of Jonathan Larson’s “Rent,” directed and choreographed by two-time Tony Award nominee Jennifer Weber. The production, celebrating the groundbreaking musical’s 30th anniversary, continues through Sept. 13.

Rather than recreating the original production, Weber brings a highly physical approach to “Rent,” using movement to illuminate the relationships, emotions and sense of community at the heart of Jonathan Larson’s musical.
