SHOW INFORMATION

Cady Heron has spent most of her life homeschooled on an African savanna, but nothing prepares her for the wild world of North Shore High. Thrust into the dizzying hierarchy of cliques, gossip and social warfare, Cady is taken in by ‘The Plastics’— the school’s glamorous and ruthless ruling trio led by queen bee Regina George. As Cady is drawn deeper into their world, she discovers just how quickly popularity can corrupt, friendships can fracture, and identities can disappear hind the masks people wear to fit in. Packed with sharp comedy, electrifying songs, and heartfelt moments, Mean Girls is a hilarious and high-energy musical about surviving high school and learning to stay true to yourself.

RECOMMENDED AUDIENCE: Age 12+

NOTE: MEAN GIRLS features coarse language, dark humour and content that may not be suitable for all audiences. As well, smog and flashing lights will be used throughout the production. Viewer discretion is advised.
