RENT: The Broadway Tour Holding Special Auction Saturday Night in Toronto for BC/EFA

The smash hit tour of RENT has been in Toronto for almost two weeks now, thrilling audiences and delighting long-term fans of the Tony Award Winning musical.  The "Broadway Tour" with Anthony Rapp and Adam Pascal reprising the roles they first played on Broadway over thirteen years ago, comes to an end in just two weeks.  After the final Toronto performance on Sunday January 24th the tour heads to Madison, WI from January 26th - 31st and then has its final week of performances in Sacramento, CA February 3rd - 7th.  February 7th will mark the official closing of the tour.

RENT has been a long-time supporter for BC/EFA (Broadway Cares/Equity Fights AIDS) and has had many successful auctions in the past to raise money for the cause.  It was decided that the final auction should take place in Toronto, and just announced that it will be tomorrow night (Saturday, January 23rd).  This is the last chance to get a special piece of RENT memorabilia before the tour takes its final bow. 

BWW has confirmed that there will be an auction taking place after the 8PM show for a very special piece of RENT memorabilia, including a meet and greet with cast members and backstage tour.  In addition, signed posters and playbills will be sold in the lobby to benefit BC/EFA.  This is a wonderful opportunity to help a great cause, and the proceeds are going to be split with the Actor's Fund of Canada.

Tickets are still available for the Saturday night show, so if you are interested in helping benefit two great causes and want one last chance at obtaining a special piece of RENT history, get your tickets to RENT at The Canon Theatre!
