This is our annual student-produced piece.
Our newest Independent Project show is tick, tick… BOOM! Before Rent, there was tick, tick... BOOM!. This autobiographical musical by Jonathan Larson, the Pulitzer Prize- and Tony Award-winning composer of Rent, is the story of a composer and the sacrifices that he made to achieve his big break in theatre. Containing fourteen songs, ten characters, three actors and a band, tick, tick... BOOM! takes you on the composer's journey that led to a Broadway blockbuster. The show will be 90 minutes long with a 15 minute intermission. We’d love to see you there!
Previous Indy Projects have included: Next to Normal, The 39 Steps, Rabbit Hole, Proof, Doubt, and many more.
