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”. Set in New York City’s East Village during the height of the HIV/AIDS crisis\, RENT follows a year in the life of a group of young artists\, bound together as a chosen family\, learning to navigate love\, creativity\, addiction\, illness\, and identity in uncertain times. 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. Gordon and New York Theatre Workshop.  RENT is presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). All authorized performance materials are also supplied by MTI. www.mtishows.com

SUMMARY:M4LL PH0T0 POP-UP (Holiday Edition)
DESCRIPTION:Remember the mall portrait studio? Fake bookshelf backdrop\, a fern\, a stranger counting down from three while your mom fixed your collar. It’s back\, and it’s parked at Square Peg for the Christkindl Market. We do floating-head portraits — the ’80s/’90s department-store composite\, done properly. Three backdrops per session (laser\, muslin\, whatever we’ve dragged out for the occasion)\, you sit for us\, and you leave with the kind of portrait that’s been hanging over your grandma’s fireplace since 1987. Want the little inset in the corner? Fill it with whatever you want. We won’t ask. The family Christmas card\, done properly — which is to say\, badly. Holiday portraits for people who don’t want the same soft-focus fireplace photo as everyone else. Families\, couples\, solo glamour\, pets\, cursed novelty items you insist on holding — all welcome. No theme too weird\, no judgment on record. Drop-in sessions\, no appointment. Just show up. Have questions?
