Watched the upper camp's rendition of Rent last night and got inspired to draw this. Joanne and Maureen were the couple besides Angel and Collins that I rooted for and loved so much, and "Take Me or Leave Me" was always one of my favorite scenes! #Rent #maureenjohnson #joannejefferson @idinamenzel @traciethoms (at Hancock, New York)
