Set in the East Village of New York City, Rent is about falling in love, finding your voice and living for today. Winner of the Tony Award for Best Musical and the Pulitzer Prize for Drama, Rent has become a pop cultural landmark with songs that rock and a story that resonates.
Based loosely on Puccini’s La Boheme, Jonathan Larson’s Rent follows a year in the life of a group of impoverished young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York’s Lower East Side, under the shadow of HIV/AIDS.
The physical and emotional complications of the disease pervade the lives of Roger, Mimi, Tom and Angel. Maureen deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne, wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble. Benny has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends. Mark, an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general.
How these young bohemians negotiate their dreams, loves and conflicts provides the narrative thread to this groundbreaking musical.
This CMT Mainstage production features a cast of talented performers, ages 14-20.

Today’s scheduled performers on the Montgomery Theater stage: Benny Green, David Benoit Quartet.
San Jose Jazz Summer Fest, formerly known as the San Jose Jazz Festival, is emblematic of the Silicon Valley start-up spirit. The first San Jose Jazz Festival took place in 1990 over two days in August at the Plaza de César Chavez. Its first day focused on fusion and its second day was dedicated to straight-ahead jazz, attracting about 10,000 attendees. This was a true grassroots effort, with the main festival organizers cleaning up festival grounds well after the last notes had been played in the park.
Festival Director Bruce Labadie funded the first two festivals out-of-pocket, and luckily the gamble paid off. Ever since, the plaza has remained the festival’s epicenter and is now the Main Stage centerpiece. Through the ’90s, the festival’s expansion made it the largest free jazz festival in the United States, and the new millennium has seen the event grow to include nearly 1,000 musicians on 12 stages.
Today’s Scheduled Performers:
- 7pm: Benny Green – Solo Piano
- 9pm: David Benoit Quartet (pictured)

![Ishwara @ Montgomery Theater | 271 South Market St., San Jose, CA 95113](https://sanjosetheaters.org/wp-content/uploads/ishwara_200aa.jpg)
Parvati and Parameshwara, Shiva and Sati, Masculine and Feminine, Purusha and Prakruti — are the many names that describe this mystery of creation.
Through Vedanta, we realise that all of this universe is an embodiment of Ishwara. Shiva and Parvati represent the unmanifest and the manifest in the world around us. The puranas reference the physical manifest forms of Shiva and Parvati as symbolic representations of this philosophy, attributing human qualities and emotions to relate trivial, often humorous interactions between them.
The stories ultimately carry the idea of both of them representing all of creation, but in the manifest forms often not realizing it.
Ishwara is a journey of human emotion, love, loss and realization through the eyes of Shiva and Parvati.
