It's "RENT In Concert" for one night only at the Lied Center for Performing Arts!

The Lied Center for Performing Arts and the Lincoln Symphony Orchestra will be celebrating the music of "RENT" with their performance of "RENT In Concert" on January 18th, 2025!  We had learned there are incredibly talented young Nebraska performers that will be part of this fun production and we wanted to share a few of those with you!  We spoke to Elise Anderson, Will Hastreiter, and Samara Follette, who are local performers involved in this production!   Will Hastreiter is from Elkhorn, NE and graduated from Midland University.  He has appeared in Omaha community theatres and even a production at the Suncoast Broadway Dinner Theatre in Hudson, Florida. We will even get to see Will on stage at "The Wild Party" at the BLUEBARN Theatre soon!  Elise Anderson is a Lincoln native and is now a Junior at UNL and working on her Bachelor's of Arts in Vocal Performance.  She also wrote and produced a single called "Little Blondie" which you can find on You Tube, iTunes, Spotify and Pandora.  (Here is the Spotify link!) Samara Follette was recently in attendance at the 2024 Jimmy Awards where she received The Rising Star Scholarship.  She attends Wesleyan University in Lincoln. This will be her first professional production as she brings her immense presence to the stage!   Thank you to the Lied Center for Performing Arts for making Lincoln be one of the only cities in the US to welcome this new concert production!  "RENT In Concert" will be performed by these live vocalists, in partnership with the Lincoln's Symphony Orchestra.  This production is Directed by Broadway's Sammi Cannold.
