In a surprising bit of good news on an otherwise unlucky Friday the 13th, Ivanhoe Village performing-arts hub the Renaissance Theatre Co. announced last week that they had passed final inspections with the city and would reopen that very day.<\/a> <\/p>\n

And in fact they did in high style, announcing a Homecoming Week series of special events. The glittering gem in that comeback crown will likely be Saturday\u2019s gala reception and fundraiser. <\/p>\n

Hard details are scant, but expect familiar (Ren) faces, visiting dignitaries, flowing libations and teary eyes \u2014 and more than likely, a drag show featuring some of Off the Record\u2019s most glamorous. Many glasses will be raised. <\/p>\n

8 p.m. Friday, March 20, Renaissance Theatre Co., 415 E. Princeton St., rentheatre.com<\/a>, $27-$102. <\/p>\n
