About the Ren!

Blake Aburn as a founding member of The Ren, can’t help but feel eternally grateful to be a part of Nosferatu and this theatre family. This is his third year in the show and is once again, playing the "nameless host of ceremonies." Blake was last seen at the Ren as the Bloody Screamer in 54 and will be seen after Nosferatu in the Office Holiday Party Musical Extravaganza Show as Finn Freeman. Blake is a full time staff member at the Ren and is again eternally grateful. (for the health insurance and the free booze!) He is the host and curator of Musical Mondays which was recently voted Orlando’s Best Piano Bar and 3rd Best Open Mic by The Orlando Weekly and its readers. Endless love to Dev, my gays and gals, and of course, my cats Stella and Peach. @blakegayburn
