San Diego Junior Theatre, the nation's longest-running youth theatre program, closes out its 76th Season with the hit musical, Mean Girls: High School Version, based on the cult classic film.
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African Savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her new home…suburban Illinois! In the halls of North Shore High School, Cady unwittingly infiltrates the most popular and cutthroat clique known as “The Plastics.” She rises to the top of the popularity pecking order by taking on the ruthless Regina George and learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.
Mean Girls will be directed by Shawn Foote, co-director of last season's sold out Matilda, The Musical. Rounding out the creative team are JT alum and frequent choreographer Marc Caro-Willcox, and music director, Eliza Vedar, who most recently music directed the hugely successful Diary of a Wimpy Kid.
Fun fact: Junior Theatre alumnus, Casey Nicholaw, directed the original Broadway production!
With an array of catchy songs and vibrant choreography, Mean Girls will have audiences dancing in their seats! Recommended for ages 13 and up, due to mature subject matter.
Mean Girls: High School Version will run Fridays at 7pm and Saturday and Sundays at 2pm from July 26 to August 11, 2024.
An ASL-interpreted performance for Mean Girls: High School Version will be Saturday, August 10 at 2pm. For optimal seating, members of the Deaf and hard-of-hearing community can reach out directly to the box office at boxoffice@juniortheatre.com.
