SUMMARY:KWLT Presents RENT
DESCRIPTION:Now in its 30th anniversary year\, the musical phenomenon RENT is still celebrated globally for its resonating storyline and iconic songs like “Seasons of Love”.

Inspired by Puccini’s La Bohème\, RENT captures the energy of New York’s bohemian culture while celebrating friendship\, self-expression\, and community. Its iconic songs and diverse characters helped redefine modern musical theatre\, making the show a cultural phenomenon that continues to resonate with audiences decades after its Broadway debut. Book\, Music and Lyrics by Jonathan Larson  Musical Arrangements by Steve Skinner  Original Concept/Additional Lyrics by Billy Aronson  Music Supervision and Additional Arrangements by Tim Weil  Dramaturg Lynn Thomson  RENT was originally produced in New York by New York Theatre Workshop and on Broadway by Jeffrey Seller\, Kevin McCollum\, Allan S.

SUMMARY:In Conversation with CBC’s Bob McDonald
DESCRIPTION:Bob is best known as the host of CBC’s Quirks & Quarks\, in addition to being an author and science journalist.   What if Everything We Know is Wrong? Throughout history\, science has shown us time and again that the way we perceive the world through our five senses is incomplete. When we look around\, the Earth appears to be flat and unmoving. It took a lot of science\, mathematics and engineering to figure out that we live on a ball that spins like a top\, circles a star\, which circles a galaxy that is only one of billions of others in an ever-expanding universe.   This illustrated talk is a journey through time to look at significant thinkers (including Galileo) who altered our perception of the universe. And this process is not over. There is still much we don’t know!   This event is in celebration of the 10th Anniversary of THEMAKERSPACE\, and is a part of The da Vinci Dialogues.
