ORLANDO, Fla. – During its peak season, the Renaissance Theatre Company was forced to close this weekend after the city of Orlando condemned the building and put up notices to vacate.

Renaissance Theatre Company Co-Founder Donald Rupe addressed the signs on the front of The Ren Theatre that say “Condemned” and “Notice to Vacate.”

“It looks like it’s like the building is about to fall down, and the building is fine,” Rupe said.

Rupe said it was part of their annual inspection with the city.
