Rent: the Complete book And Lyrics of the Broadway Musical
“The one set piece onstage, at stage left, is a huge tower that represents (a) a totem pole/Christmas tree that stands in an abandoned lot, (b) a wood stove with a snaky chimney that is at the center of MARK and ROGER's loft apartment, and (c) the steeple of a church in ACT TWO. There is a wooden platform loft area at stage right with a railing around it, under which sits the band of five musicians. It has a staircase on the upstage side. Downstage is a black, waist-high rail fence.)(Onstage, once the house is open, CREW and BAND MEMBERS move about informally in preparation for the play.)(ROGER enters from upstage left with an electric guitar and crosses to a guitar amp sitting on a chair at center stage. He casually plugs his guitar into the amp and sets levels, then crosses downstage and sits on the table.)(After a few beats, the COMPANY, led by MARK, enters from all directions and fills the stage. MARK sets up a small tripod and a 16mm movie camera downstage center, aimed upstage. H...e addresses the audience.)MARKWe begin on Christmas Eve, with me, Mark, and my roommate, Roger.MoreLess
