This summer the Greendale Community Theatre presents the regional premiere of RENT, written by Jonathan Larson.

The talented team of actors put together a video series detailing the "Road To Rent", imagine our surprise when one of the episodes was a "BroadwayWorld.com" segment! The cast remarked, "We're just fooling around. We know we aren't on Broadway... we're in Milwaukee Wisconsin...but our theatre is located off Broad...Street, so that counts for something!!!" You can enjoy it right here on BWW TV's STAGE TUBE!
