In December we finish our season with, Rent. Rent is an award-winning rock musical that tells the story of a group of impoverished young artists struggling to survive and create a life in Lower Manhattan's East Village, in the thriving days of the bohemian culture of Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS. Rent is a musical that focuses on four friends – Roger, Mark, Collins, Angel – as well as their significant others while they balance their art with their income and ability to pay rent. While the play addresses the HIV/AIDS crisis head on, the other themes of Rent also directly address homelessness, poverty, and gentrification. On Broadway, Rent gained critical acclaim and won several awards, including the Pulitzer Prize for Drama and the Tony Award for Best Musical.
The show dates are as follows: December 5, 6, 12, 13, 14, 19, and 20.
All show times start at 7:30 except the Sunday matinee Decembeer 14. The Sunday Matinee show start time is 2:00 PM.

OUR MISSION:
The mission of the Iron Horse Theatre Company is to provide thought provoking and entertaining theater that will enrich the cultural life in what is now known as the "rust belt" area of southwestern Pennsylvania. We will provide the people of this community the opportunity to not only attend, but also to participate in quality presentations and theatrical works. The symbolic name, "Iron Horse" represents the hard-working and "iron-willed" people in this part of the world. It is in this spirit that we will create theatrical experiences that celebrate the grit, determination, and strength of the human character.
