  • Renaissance Theatre Company’s ode to Studio 54, “Disco Boots” extends through July 25

    Disco is a state of mind. Escape to a new dimension with an evening of live disco music: dancers, drag artists, performance art, and only the best vibes take you away for a little while. Renaissance Theatre Company (The Ren) is extending the Summer of Disco through July with exciting themes and special guests. Disco Boots opened originally on April 3rd, and more than 3,000 guests have experienced the show thus far. Picture it: 4 live dynamic singers and a 6-piece band, 16 incredible dancers, and a rotating cast of drag performers converge in a 360-degree immersive space equipped with gorgeous visuals on a brand-new giant TV wall, complete with not 1 but 2 disco horses…the result? A one-of-a-kind experience that is only in Orlando…only at Renaissance Theatre Company. “It’s like stepping into a different dimension,” show creator and Ren Artistic Director Donald Rupe says. “We wanted to create our own version of Studio 54, and each night the experience is different. The cast alternates, and we also have different sets that we alternate…we’ve got a Madonna set that’s a fan favorite, plus popular sets dedicated to popular 70s music, of course there’s a Beyoncé set, and also a set of original music…I truly don’t think I’ve ever seen a show quite like this one, anywhere.” Show director and choreographer, Darian Payne, adds, “there’s nothing quite like the immersive nature of shows at Renaissance Theatre Company. It’s happening all around you, and it really feels like you escape to a different place for a while. It’s electric and the vibes are just unbeatable.” Discover the latest entertainment news from Orlando and throughout Central Florida. The remainder of the run will feature exciting themes like a Juneteenth Celebration, a returning fan-favorite, Disco Boots and Bobs (where the cast wears bobs), a throwback set to last year’s Boots, and several Sapphic Night Fever events. Upcoming special guests include RuPaul’s Drag Race star Lana Ja’rae on July 3rd, local superstar Tymisha Harris, and more to be announced. The event offers general admission standing room or the option to reserve a seat. “Boogie booths” are a popular choice and Disco Boots is perfect for birthdays, bachelorette parties, and more…groups of 8 or more get 20% off, and bottle service packages can spice up any occasion. Unfortunately, though Disco never dies, Disco Boots must end on July 25th, so this will be the final extension of the show. What’s next? The Ren’s signature experience, Nosferatu, is set to make its grand return. Renaissance Theatre Company is located at 415 East Princeton Street, Orlando, FL 32803.

During the experience, guests travel alongside some of humanity’s most powerful observatories, including the Hubble Space Telescope, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Chandra X‑ray Observatory, journeying far beyond Earth and deep into the cosmos.

From this summit, the journey launches into deep space aboard the world’s most powerful telescopes (Hubble, JWST, and Chandra), revealing the vastness and wonder of the universe like never before. Drift through a breathtaking 3D expanse, gliding past thousands of galaxies, racing through the Milky Way, and soaring close to the Sun to witness its immense energy. Along the way, encounter extreme exoplanet worlds, a dying star, and the edge of a supermassive black hole, capturing the scale and beauty of space. Celebrating Innovation & Human Accomplishment Smithsonian Starstruck: An Immersive Experience honors centuries of scientific curiosity and innovation, demonstrating how curiosity and exploration continue to expand our understanding of the universe. From the Big Bang to the Milky Way to the solar system, the experience places visitors within the story of discovery itself, illustrating that humans are not just observers of the cosmos, but part of it. Bringing Starstruck to Orlando marks the latest addition to Fever’s growing portfolio of immersive cultural experiences worldwide.
