Teen Performing Arts Academy to Present LEGALLY BLONDE JR.

The Board of Directors and Artistic Director, David Leidholdt, have announced the Teen Performing Arts Academy's inaugural production of Legally Blonde Jr. on the Ryan Mainstage.

Are you psyched or what? Harvard's beloved blonde, Elle Woods, takes the stage by glittery pink storm in this fun and upbeat musical.

When Elle's boyfriend Warner dumps her and heads to Harvard, claiming she's not "serious" enough, Elle stays positive and takes matters into her own hands, crafting a showy song-and-dance personal essay and charming her way into law school. Befriending classmate Emmett and spunky hairdresser Paulette along the way, Elle finds that books and looks aren't mutually exclusive - in fact, law may be her natural calling after all as she quickly begins outsmarting her peers.

Follow Elle Woods, as she learns how to conquer stereotypes, be true to herself, stand up for what she believes, and show everyone what it really means to be Legally Blonde.
