University of Louisiana Monroe
The cast of "RENT" at the University of Louisiana Monroe.

What a party! Even with some unpredictable weather, we had a great time of food and enjoyment.

The KEDM Director's Gala for "RENT" at the University of Louisiana Monroe was held Friday night, March 18 from 5 to 7 p.m. before the curtain of "RENT" at 7:30. Click here for our original post about the event. It was such a pleasure to partner with the ULM School of Visual and Performing Arts.

So many people worked so hard to make it a success!
