Where art thou, 661Arts?

Alright, so we know what you’re thinking: Where did 661Arts go?

Right?? We were thinking the same thing.

ANYWAY, we’re back, but we’re making some changes – hence, the current bare, and minimal (but oh-so-pretty) site layout. So, hang tight and expect to see some consistent updates in the very near future.

Santa Clarita Regional Theatre Presents “RENT” at COC

Jonathan Larson’s ground-breaking musical opens March 6 at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons for a limited run. Winner of a Pulitzer Prize and a Tony Award for Best Musical, Rent is largely responsible for helping to increase the popularity of musical theatre among the younger generation. The Broadway production closed in 2008, after a 12-year run and 5,124 performances, making it the seventh longest-running Broadway show, eight years behind The Phantom of the Opera.  The success of the show led to several national tours and numerous foreign productions, and in 2005, it was also adapted into a motion picture that features most of the original cast.

“Rent” is a very adult show and is not recommended for children as it contains overt sexual situations, adult language, and provocative choreography.  There will be only six performances at the Santa Clarita Performing Arts Center at College of the Canyons on March 6, 7, 13, 14, 19, and 20, 2010.  Ticket prices are from $12 to $29 and may be obtained by calling the box office at (661) 799-2702.
