As we close out our 2025 - 2026 school year, we wanted to call out our amazing cast and crew for all of their hard work that contributed to our most successful shows yet...and Hennepin Arts Spotlight Education would agree! This was our FIRST year participating in the Spotlight Awards, and we didn’t expect to receive any accolades, let alone so many! Congrats to all of the Little Shop of Horrors recipients! We are so proud of our students and can’t wait to see what the future brings!
