Homecoming is just weeks away and we can't wait to see you. Whether you last visited campus a year ago or perhaps 10 years ago, there's never been a better time to come back. Join us and take some time to reconnect and recharge with your fellow Vikings. We hope to see you soon!

October 29 - November 8

CSU Theater Department: RENT

The season begins with the celebration of the 30th anniversary of the iconic musical, RENT! Set in New York City's vibrant East Village, this groundbreaking rock musical follows a group of young artists and musicians as they navigate love, loss, friendship, and the pursuit of their dreams while facing an uncertain future. Featuring an iconic score and a message of resilience, community, and living life to the fullest, RENT remains as powerful and relevant today as it was when it first premiered in 1996. Last year’s Starmites dream team takes on the leadership of Rent, featuring Director, Sheffia Randall-Nickerson, Musical Director, Maria DiDonato and Choreographer, Errin Weaver.
