Mean Girls

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing has prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of suburbia. Meet The Plastics: Regina, Gretchen, and Karen, North Shore High’s ruling clique. When Cady devises a plan to end their reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.

A preshow talk is offered in the West Lobby 30 minutes prior to curtain.

Suggested reading: Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman
