Review: MEAN GIRLS at The Renaissance Theatre Company
by Benoit Teves - Jan 20, 2026

Part bar, part group hang, and part chaotic theatrical experience, The Renaissance Theatre Company’s production of MEAN GIRLS blurs the lines between a traditional show and an immersive club experience. While the scrappy staging and mid-show cocktail deliveries lean heavily into the troupe’s immersive club roots, the production is anchored by an exceptionally talented cast and a live band that keep the energy electric. It’s a messy, defiant, and undeniably fun outing for a company that continues to make an indelible mark on the city’s queer arts scene.
