The rumors were true. The clues were... questionable. The group chats were chaotic.

But the verdict is finally in. 💅💖

✨ IRONDALE DRAMA'S 2026 FALL MUSICAL IS... LEGALLY BLONDE! ✨

Grab your pink, practice your bend-and-snap, and prepare to spend the next few months saying "Omigod, you guys" an unhealthy amount.

We are SO excited to bring this iconic show to the Irondale stage this fall. 💕

See you at auditions. 🐶✨

Last night was the perfect way to celebrate an unforgettable season. ✨

Our students had the incredible honor of performing a medley from Disney’s The Little Mermaid at the 2026 Spotlight Showcase.

The Spotlight Showcase is a celebration of the incredible work happening in high school theater across Minnesota, and we are so grateful to have been part of it. It was inspiring to spend the evening surrounded by students who share the same passion for storytelling, music, and live performance.

Until next season.. 💙
