Filipino siblings Enrico and Jerianne Banson are producing Jonathan Larson's Tony and Pulitzer Prize-winning musical RENT at the Southside Theatre, Fort Mason Center, Building D in San Francisco, California via The Royal Underground Theatre Company, a JERICA Productions subsidiary. Their production of the popular rock musical opened last January 21, 2010 and runs until February 21, 2010.

In 1998, Enrico and Jerianne formed JERICA, an independent production company based in San Francisco, California.

Expansion efforts in Los Angeles, California began in 2002.

Directed by Jerianne, The Royal Underground's production of RENT features Enrico in the lead role of Roger.
