This year, Ignite was privileged to have two incredible seniors on our Ignite Performance Team. We are thrilled to take a moment to celebrate the achievements of these two hard working performers.

Sky and Reagan have come as a package deal almost since the moment they joined Ignite three years ago through countless shows, performances, and service opportunities. Over the years, we’ve had the opportunity to watch these two young people grow and grow up together.

Through opening nights, travel, hiccups, and even a team chant dedicated to them, these two have proven that theater doesn’t have to be competition. It can be collaboration, friendship, and celebration when you have your best friend by your side.

Next year, these two best friends will keep the good times going as they head to Columbia College Chicago to continue growing as performers. We have no doubt these incredible young people will show the Windy City what St. Louis is all about. After witnessing their college auditions, Columbia already knows they are outstanding performers but more importantly, we’re excited we will get to know the amazing people they are offstage as well.

Be sure to see them perform together one last time on the Ignite stage before they head off to college in Alice by Heart this summer.

This time of year is always bittersweet as we watch our seniors graduate, but if we’ve done our job right, they know they will always have a home at Ignite.

Join us in celebrating these two incredible seniors and welcoming them as Ignite Elite Performance Team alumni!

Howdy, y'all...

Here's a preview from our first weeks of rehearsals. There's some veterans and some newbies but they're all giving us everything they got. Along with sharing with you this sneak peak behind the curtain, we can also say that tickets are officially live!

Don't wait, this world premiere five performance run will most definitely sell out. It'll be here before you know it, so don't be left out!

INTRUDER ALERT.
The Cat in the Hat got into the platform… and may have done a little coding of his own.
What was SUPPOSED to be a 24 HOUR discount has now become a 24 DAY discount.

That means you now have until JUNE 11 to secure your spot in the most chaotic, creative, sleep-deprived theatrical adventure of the summer.

No sleep.
No chill.
No idea what’s coming next.

Just pure musical theatre mayhem.

A jungle is growing.
A celebration is brewing.
And somewhere between brilliant and completely bananas… we said yes.

After surviving a 24 Hour Play Festival two years ago and making it through a championship lock-in with our sanity mostly intact, we realized something very important:

We were only getting started.

So with milestone birthdays to celebrate, stories to tell, and a community always ready to leap into the unexpected, we are officially announcing:

SPARK After Dark: The Jungle Jam

A 24-hour theatrical adventure inspired by Seussical JR. where the hours grow later, the ideas grow wilder, and the memories grow bigger with every passing minute.

This isn’t just a performance.
It’s a multi-generational theatrical event bringing together students, alumni, staff, and our entire Ignite community for one unforgettable experience.

And here’s where things get especially wild:

YOU get to help cast the production.

That’s right. Audience members will have opportunities to help determine which students, alumni, and EVEN staff members take on roles in this wonderfully chaotic jungle adventure.

There will be theatre.
There will be games.
There will be music, madness, teamwork, creativity, and moments you’ll talk about long after sunrise.

And because every great adventure deserves a grand beginning, TODAY ONLY you can use:

EARLYMAIZYELABIRD24

to receive $24 off your production fee.

One day. One code. One wonderfully wild adventure.

The conversations that matter most shouldn’t wait for a crisis.

Body image, eating disorders, mental health, and the pressure created by social media and performance culture impact young people every day. This workshop creates a safe, supportive space to talk openly, build confidence, and develop healthier ways to navigate a media-saturated, high-pressure world.

Join us today at Ignite Studio to gain tools for a stronger self-image, positive thinking, and supporting both yourself and others.

✨ IT’S HERE ✨

The full company of Alice by Heart is officially revealed.
Thank you for following along today as we introduced the artists who will bring this haunting, beautiful story to life.

Welcome to Wonderland… where memory sings, love lingers, and nothing is quite what it seems.

The Robert Reim Theater August 7-9.

05/14/2026

At last… we fall down the rabbit hole.
Meet Alice

The center of the story.
The question.
The memory.
The heart of Alice by Heart.

05/14/2026

Memory returns… softly, painfully, fully.
Meet Alfred

The anchor, the echo, the heart of everything that was and everything that still remains.

05/14/2026

Tea is served… and reality is optional
Meet Nigel/Dormouse — half asleep, fully iconic.
And Harold Pudding/Mad Hatter — delightfully unhinged and dangerously charming.

Time is bending. Stay alert.

See what these characters bring to the stage August 7 through 9.

Power has many forms… and none of them are simple.
In these characters, healing and authority collide.

Red Cross Nurse / Queen of Hearts. Care, control, and consequence all in one breath.
Dr. Butridge/King of Hearts /Jabberwocky. Three identities. One unraveling world.

This is where the rules start to break.

In Wonderland, mercy and power are never far apart.
