    RENT: WHO IS TO BLAME?

    Who’s to blame for the rent due in RENT? This week, The Alarmist (Rebecca Delgado Smith) is wrapping up 2024 by keeping things all in the family with Associate Producer Krystal Dinsberg, Fact Checker Chris Smith and Producer Clayton Early. Together, The Alarmist Crew take on the 1996 rock opera musical RENT and try to decide who or what is ultimately to blame for this year’s rent, last year’s rent...oh, you know the rest. Could the hard knocks of the artist's life be at fault? Perhaps Benny and his broken promises are to blame? Or maybe the difficulties of handling the AIDS epidemic in a drug infested dangerous city like New York are too much for anyone to handle! Everything is RENT! Join our Patreon! Join our Discord!
