Cast vs. Character: SWING EDITION 🌈✨

In theatre, a swing is basically a superhero in disguise. They learn multiple full tracks- choreography, vocals, blocking, quick changes, harmonies, everything- and should be prepared jump in at a moment’s notice to keep the show running seamlessly.

It’s one of the hardest jobs in a production… and swimming when thrown into the deep end? One of the most impressive.

For our production of Rent by Jonathan Larson, let's learn a bit about swings and meet the icons holding it down:

✨ Jill Cromwell – Swing 1 (also in dance corps as their main track!)
Covering: Mimi, Angel, Mark, Maureen, and Joanne (yes… all of them. absolute chaos in the best way.)

✨ Josh Welsh – Swing 2 (also ensemble 2 as his main track!) Covering: Benny, Collins, and Roger (range? unmatched.)

The stamina. The brainpower. The “put me in, coach” energy. When they go on, they don’t just fill in; they shine. 💫

Drop some love for our swings below — because this show truly could not happen without them.

Cast vs. Character: PRINCIPAL EDITION. ❤️‍🔥

These are the people carrying crazy emotional damage, breakups, the makeups, the table-ography, the protest energy, the literal plot of RENT by Jonathan Larson every single night.

(THERE’S ONLY 4 SHOWS LEFT!) No pressure.

Get one of the last tickets! https://app.arts-people.com/?show=279239

In alphabetical character order (because though RENT is messy, we’re organized and we respect a lineup):

✨ Angel: Teighlor Thompson
✨ Benny: Merley Wheaton
✨ Collins: Bobby Umar
✨ Joanne: Sam East
✨ Mark: Owen Lapsley
✨ Maureen: Katherine Lopinski
✨ Mimi: Jocey Vee
✨ Roger: Kurtis Whittle

The stamina? Unreal. The vocals? Sickening. The chemistry? Slightly dangerous. The amount of nebulizing? Saline stocks are critically low. The commitment? Borderline fixated!

They’ve trusted our Directors with this material, taken every note, raised the bar, and then raised it again. Watching them lock in during tech week had us like… yeah. This is it.

Audiences are living La Vie Boheme, and you HAVE to join them!
