(Orlando, FL) Dust off your cowboy boots and get ready to two-step the night away! The Renaissance Theatre Company (The Ren) is back with another immersive experience, and this time, they’re bringing the honky-tonk straight to Orlando. Boots is a one-of-a-kind 360º concept that transforms The Ren into a lively, fully decked-out saloon, promising an unforgettable night of music, dancing, and dazzling performances. Mark your calendars—this anticipated spectacle kicks off on February 7th!
A Night of Music, Dancing, and Show-Stopping Performances
The evening starts with a bang as a live house band, led by local favorites Iris Johnson and AC Jenkins, takes the stage. Expect a high-energy setlist packed with country hits and pop favorites from legends like Shania Twain, The Chicks, and even Beyoncé! Once you’ve warmed up, it’s time to hit the dance floor for a line dancing lesson—whether you’re a seasoned pro or a complete beginner, you’ll be boot-scootin’ in no time.
But the excitement doesn’t stop there! Guests will be treated to electrifying performances atop the bar, featuring Orlando’s most talented drag stars, including Myki Meeks, Angelica Sanchez, and Orusha San Miguel. The entire evening is hosted by none other than Orlando theater staple, Blake Aburn, fresh off his Off-Broadway run in From Here over the summer.
VIP Perks and Affordable Fun
Boots offers general admission standing room passes for just $15, making it an affordable way to experience a night of immersive entertainment. Snag a reserved spot in the hayloft for $25. And for those looking to elevate their night, VIP packages are available, featuring private booths, specialty cocktails, and the best views in the house.
A Saloon Like No Other
Creator and director Donald Rupe describes Boots as “our biggest and longest-running party yet.” The Ren has pulled out all the stops to create an over-the-top saloon experience, complete with a full-sized disco horse for the ultimate photo op. Rupe sums it up best: “Think Coyote Ugly meets ‘Flaming Saddles’ in NYC or the Cowboy Carter halftime show, but in an intimate space with the action happening all around you.”
The excitement is contagious, and even The Ren’s resident DJ, Galvin Baez, is buzzing with anticipation: “We know the crowds are going to turn it out and dress up; we expect to see all the sexy country looks Orlando has to offer. We’re bringing country to the Renaissance, and y’all won’t be the same!”
A Commitment to Local Talent and Accessibility
Since its founding in 2021, The Renaissance Theatre Company has been committed to producing new works that showcase local talent, ensuring fair pay for artists, and creating inclusive and sustainable entertainment. Boots continues that mission by blending theater with the best of nightlife, making it an accessible and unforgettable experience for everyone.
So, grab your best western wear, rally your crew, and get ready for a night of hootin’ hollerin’ fun! Boots takes over The Ren every Friday and Saturday at 10:00 PM starting February 7th.
