Columbia Basin College had to switch its outdoor summer showcase musical production from Fiddler on the Roof to Rent because of problems with obtaining the rights to the musical, said Ginny Quinley, CBC’s drama director.
“We found out that our rights had been pulled for Fiddler by a touring company that wanted exclusive rights in Washington state,” Quinley said. “So, we have changed to Rent and moved the production inside.”
Performance dates for Rent are July 23, 24, 29-31, Aug. 5-7. Auditions for Rent will be held at 7 p.m. Feb. 27-28 in the CBC theater on the Pasco campus.
