Spotlight Theatre Company will present MEAN GIRLS Jr., a youth musical adaptation of the 2004 cult classic film. The show will premiere at the Orpheum Theater Center with five performances from November 14–17.
MEAN GIRLS Jr. brings to life the iconic story of Cady Heron as she takes on The Plastics, a trio of popular frenemies led by the ruthless Regina George. Cady, having grown up on an African savanna, is unprepared for the cutthroat world of high school cliques. To topple Regina's reign, she and her friends plot a “Revenge Party,” with Cady going undercover as a Plastic. But as her real self and her Plastic persona begin to blur, Cady must rediscover her true friends and who she really is.
“I am continuously amazed by our young theatre artists! MEAN GIRLS Jr. is no exception. This is a high-caliber youth production with incredible vocals, acting and stage management,” says Debbi Jones, Senior Program Specialist for Spotlight Theatre Company. “This show also has a great message around navigating friendships, self-acceptance and the social complexities of high school. I strongly encourage families to get tickets, especially those with pre-teen students!”
Spotlight Theatre Company provides students aged 6–18 with opportunities to showcase their talents in professional-level theatre performances throughout the community. Generous support from sponsors Avera, The First National Bank in Sioux Falls and Wellmark Blue Cross Blue Shield has made MEAN GIRLS Jr. performances possible.
