Description

In this lovingly crafted memoir that captures the passion and grit unique to the performing life Anthony Rapp recounts his life-changing experience as an original cast member in the Pulitzer Prize-winning "Rent." paperback Rapp who appeared in the film and the original cast of the Broadway hit has written a sensitive heartfelt memoir chronicling his life on and off stage. The actor who played video artist Mark Cohen pulls back the curtains to show the musical's genesis which involved endless rehearsals and false starts. He lauds the genius of Jonathan Larson its creator and the supportive New York Theatre Workshop which lent its facilities to the exuberant troupe and director. Rapp writes most movingly of his friends who lost their battle with AIDS as well as the long painful demise of his mother from cancer.  the book sometimes plunges deeply into its twin themes of love and loss Rapp recognizes the healing power of drama and theater writing that acting is "an escape of sorts." Absorbing warm and hopeful the book celebrates a man his work and a generation struggling with AIDS but determined to survive.
