Meera Mohan of Plainsboro continues to follow her dream of a career on stage while shifting careers from the business world. She plays Alexi Darling in Bristol Riverside Theater’s production of “Rent.” Although the role includes two sing song voicemails on an answering machine, Mohan also appears onstage as an ensemble member.

“I’m thrilled for this opportunity and I really appreciate that BRT and the directors chose to cast me,” she says. “I’m looking forward to learning from the professionally experienced people around me.”

Rent, Bristol Riverside Theater, 120 Radcliffe Street, Bristol. Opens Tuesday, May 8. Jonathan Larson’s rock musical about young artists and musicians struggling to survive and create in New York City’s Bohemian Alphabet City, under the shadow of HIV and AIDS, was adapted from Puccini’s La Boheme. $30 to $50. 215-785-0100. www.brtstage.org.
