Come watch the JBHS production of Rent! Mark: a poor aspiring film director and Roger: a poor aspiring rock star survive an AIDS ravaged New York City. City life never sleeps! Mark deals with his ex-girlfriend Maureen and her new girlfriend Joanne; Roger meets Mimi, a sex worker who deals with drug addiction. Collins, their former roommate, and Angel, the group's newest friend try to endure life as queer people in the early 1990s. On top of everything, Benjamin Coffin III is constantly reminding the struggling artists that the rent is due. Through strife and clashes between the friends, the threat of eviction looms. This rock opera brings important messages of love, acceptance, and hope in times of struggle. Coming to JBHS on February 10, 11, and 12!!

 Since 2008, the John Burroughs High School Dramatic Association has made incredible strides in expanding its theatre program and won numerous awards.  The number of classes has more than doubled, student enrollment is at an all time high, and the audience turnout at shows continues to grow. The drama room we call home had a new blackbox theatre installed, and we also have a new sewing room as well as two storage containers for our sets and props. We collaborate with our incredible tech theatre students on our productions, as well as our instrumental and vocal music programs, our photography teacher and students, our woodshop teacher and students, and many more. JBHS Drama produces three mainstage productions a year, two scene showcases in its classroom blackbox theatre, and competes in many drama festivals and competitions.
