The ISN production of RENT: School Edition was nothing short of spectacular. Our talented student cast and tech team gave their all, delivering a performance that left everyone in awe. From the emotional depth of the characters to the energy in every song, the students truly brought this iconic musical to life, showcasing their remarkable dedication and passion.

Show Director Marianne Stewart expressed it best: "It’s already promising to be the best production! It is going to be gorgeous!!" And indeed, it was! Every aspect of the show—from the powerful performances to the technical execution—was a testament to the creativity and teamwork that make our school community so special.

A huge thank you goes to Marianne Stewart for her visionary direction, and to our technical director Ronald Booth, who was instrumental in bringing everything together behind the scenes. Mary Alice, the choreographer, helped shape some fantastic dance numbers, while  Valerie, the vocal coach, helped perfect the cast’s beautiful harmonies. A special mention goes to the talented band: James on drums, Jean Jacques on guitar, and Serge on bass, who set the perfect tone throughout the show.

Thank you to everyone who contributed in any way to the success of this production—whether it was with ticket sales, helping during intervals or just offering their support behind the scenes. This production was a true team effort, and the result was a performance that will be remembered for years to come.

We are so proud of our students and can’t wait to see what they accomplish next!
