Stay safe today, Indy ❤️

Slay families, be sure to check your email and texts for more info about today's cancelled auditions.

🚨FLOOD UPDATE (8:45 A.M.):

Residents in ROCKY RIPPLE and RAVENSWOOD are strongly advised to evacuate.

The 53rd street gate in ROCKY RIPPLE is being closely monitored. Should a closure of this gate be required, vehicles—including emergency vehicles—will not be able to access the area. Any residents remaining in the impacted zone should evacuate as soon as possible.

Based on the latest data, DPW Stormwater Engineering expects the White River to crest between 2 and 8 p.m. with highs reaching Rocky Ripple and Ravenswood as late as 8 p.m. This information is subject to change given incoming weather impacts.

DPW is also monitoring Westfield Blvd and weighing a potential closure. 96th St. and Brandt Rd. has been closed due to flooding resulting in road failure. Residents are encouraged to avoid the area. This is not a complete list of impacted roadways. If a roadway is flooded, DO NOT attempt to traverse.

Emergency services are coordinating with AES to monitor potential outages—both planned and unplanned. Flood waters and the potential for high winds pose a significant safety risk due to threat of downed power lines.

Many of the trails on the city’s north side are currently impassable due to high water. Residents should avoid walking or biking on submerged trails and greenways or in areas where high water is present.

The current forecast suggests rain will begin falling Saturday morning and continue through Sunday. Impacts of this rainfall on current flooding are difficult to predict, and residents are encouraged to follow the City of Indianapolis, Indy DPW, and MESA on social media and to text INDYFLOOD26 to 67283 to receive text updates on flood response.

A Red Cross-staffed shelter is available at the Washington Township Adult Center at 8401 Westfield Blvd. Families with pets should go to the Broad Ripple Park Family Center at 1426 Broad Ripple Ave.

ONLY THREE (3) SPOTS LEFT IN OUR FALL PLAY!

08/03/2026

Only 5 spots remain in our fall play!

We have grown steadily as a business in the past two years, and as we work to navigate this growth, we are unfortunately putting a pause on workshops and classes for the winter session. While we understand this is disappointing for our young actors who aren't yet eligible for our production offering...

Slay by Rachel Bland

In a world full of epic adventures, thrilling battles, and dangers at every turn, there lives a princess unlike any other: Jane. And Jane is well… plain. She doesn’t wear gowns with grace, she isn’t brave enough to slay dragons, and she can barely pass her math test! But when a terrifying beast threatens to destroy everything she loves, Jane refuses to sit back and wait for rescue.

Jane sets out on a quest to find the “hero of worth” to save her kingdom. Will Jane and her friends find the hero in time? Will they end up as a cautionary tale? Or will Jane learn that there is something special in being yourself?

Slay is a hilarious, heartwarming adventure that is easy to stage with vivid characters and roles for all levels.
