MEASURE YOUR LIFE IN LOVE.

Since its1996 debut, Jonathan Larson’s musical, Rent, has been awarded four Tony Awards and the Pulitzer Prize! For almost 30 years, it has been enthralling audiences with its story of love, loss, and hope set against the backdrop of New York’s Lower East Side during the onslaught of the HIV/AIDS epidemic of the 1980s and 1990s. Loosely based on Puccini’s La Bohème, the show follows a group of impoverished artists and musicians as they navigate their way through a year of challenges and triumphs, all while trying to make a life for themselves in the city that never sleeps. Over its almost four-decade long run, Rent has been praised for its frank and honest portrayal of addiction, mental illness, and disease, as well as its hopeful message of love and acceptance. The musical has resonated with audiences all over the world, and although it is now widely recognized as a theatre classic, its popularity continues to grow. Rent reminds us all that the only way we should be measuring the seasons of our life, is in “Seasons of Love!”

Not recommended for audiences younger than 14.

Presented through special arrangement with Music Theatre International

The Surrogate Band returns by popular demand for their eighth year at DeLand’s historic theatre. This Floyd tribute band has built their beloved reputation on their live shows that emulate and recreate the sound and soundscape of Pink Floyd’s live shows.

The Surrogate Band will be reproducing numerous chart-topping songs from a variety of Pink Floyd albums including The Wall, Dark Side of the Moon, Wish You Were Here, Animals, The Division Bell, and Momentary Lapse of Reason note for note in their entirety.

This iconic music (perfectly played and paired with state-of-the-art sound, mind-blowing lasers, and Floyd-worthy projections) has been called “the best concert to hit the Athens’ stage!”

If you are a Pink Floyd fan, then you don’t want to miss this concert experience that audiences rave about and call “spectacular,” “stunning,” and” the next best thing to seeing the real thing–but in an intimate setting!”

Come see why fans sent us the following comments after their last performance at the Athens Theatre!

  • The whole event was spectacular including the singers, the band and of course Rob Baldwin. Thank You for an excellent event.  Mark P.
  • An amazing show, I’ll see them any time they perform.  Phil G
  • Absolutely a 10! Fantastic show.  Bill B.
  • Absolutely excellent! :) Thank you so much for a super night and i will come see them every time you have them back. —Sally R.
  • I have been to many concerts in my day…this was one of the best. Would definitely come back and see them again — John P.
