Built in 1917 and nearing its centennial, SUGAR LAND AUDITORIUM serves as the host facility for INSPIRATION STAGE theatrical productions. This richly-significant building was officially designated as a historic landmark in 1993 by the Texas Historic Society. Restoration on the 400-seat house began in 1999 and was completed in 2011 through the combined efforts of the Sugar Land Heritage Society, Sugar Land Cultural Arts Foundation, The City of Sugar Land, Fort Bend ISD, George Foundation, and Houston Endowment, Inc. SUGAR LAND AUDITORIUM is the last remaining public building of the original Imperial Sugar Company-owned town of Sugar Land and the only building left from the original Sugar Land ISD #17.

[MUSICAL] — RENT, a rock opera based loosely on Puccini's opera verismo La Bohème follows a year in the lives of seven friends living the disappearing Bohemian lifestyle in New York's East Village. In crumbling urban and social decay, RENT's inhabitants find dignity and hope amid the rubble of emotional and physical poverty. AIDS and both its physical and emotional complications pervade the lives of brooding musician Roger (Tyler Collins), addict and dancer Mimi (Jasmine Rogers), anarchist philosopher Tom (Johnny Nichols), and street percussionist Angel (Erik Olmos). Maureen (Hayley Beiermeister) deals with her chronic infidelity through performance art; her partner, Joanne (Monica Cummings), wonders if their relationship is worth the trouble; Benjamin (Jarred Popoff) has sold out his Bohemian ideals in exchange for a hefty income and is on the outs with his former friends; and Mark (Logan Vaden), an aspiring filmmaker, feels like an outsider to life in general, always behind the camera recording the events but never playing a part. Nominated for ten 1996 Tony Awards and won four (Best Musical, Best Book of a Musical, Best Score and Best Performance by a Featured Actor), RENT was subsequently adapted for the cinema in 2005 while the live musical was booked for several national tours. RENT has been translated into 22 languages and performed in 45 countries.
