The One Page Pitch

What did you want to be when you grow up?

You probably didn’t want to be an assistance media planner at a small ad agency working with niche pharmaceutical companies. You probably didn’t even know that was a place you could end up. But most people work in jobs and industries that a younger, more idealistic version of themselves didn’t even know existed.

But what if that inner child was still alive?

What kind of of wacky adventures and hijinks would you get into, and how would you drag your best friends into it? It’s exactly this kind of childlike wonder, this sense of freedom usually only achievable in the human mind before it becomes weighed down by the crushing reality of paying taxes and rent, that runs through “Rent’s Due”

Ostensibly this is a show about 3 young adults living in the city trying to make their way in the world. But the real heart underneath is about a generation that sees little opportunity in front of them, and is fighting to keep the dream alive despite the feeling that they came in at the end of this thing, and that the best is over…

Our Characters

• Cam Albertson

  • A dreamer, a schemer, and a true man of action. In fact, the action usually comes before any real thoughts or practicalities do. While it’s true that most of his plans blow up in his face, his good intentions coupled with an unwavering belief in himself is not only enough to inspire, but enough to move even the largest boulder up the steepest hill (though not enough to keep it there).

• Jay Cager

  • Kind of like a baby deer. A glass spine and an absolute heart of gold. The cautious one of the trio, Jay tries his best to be the voice of reason. Fortunately and unfortunately, his wide-eyed innocence allows him to believe in (and fall for) just about anything.

• Molly Rivoli

  • Whatever happened to the talkies? The great era of motion pictures where men were men and women were divine. It is this time, a time of glamour and transatlantic accents, that Molly belongs to. Unfortunately, she’s stuck with modernity. She’s dancing through life to the beat of her own drum - and you might not like her dramatic flare and razor sharp wit, but she is cracking herself up and that’s all that really matters.
