Lindsey Litka-Montes (Maureen) is honored to join the incredible cast of Rent at Lee Street Theatre. She'd like to dedicate this show to two people. First, her father. His love of Rent is what motivated her to be part of the show and to tell a story that pays tribute to the friends he had who were taken too soon by AIDS. Second, her high school best friend who has lived with this disease since a year after they met. Advancements in treatment and medicine have saved his life but the physical and mental toll remains extreme. Thank you to the audience who have come to not only see the show but to experience it and, ultimately, to take part in the community that Lee Street has taken aim to create.

This is for the friends that have left us too soon, don’t wait. There’s no day but today.

Once upon a time...Nikki Dunn kissed the stage and never looked back. She’s now stepping into the sass-filled shoes of The Princess Who Kissed the Frog and loving every second of it.

She dedicates this performance to the ones who never saw their reflection in a tiara but knew they were royalty all along.
