Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. When Cady encounters The Plastics—a trio of powerful frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George—she becomes caught in the school’s popularity hierarchy. Cady and her new friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, but Cady soon learns that taking down a queen bee can come at a cost—and that losing yourself is far more dangerous than losing a popularity contest. Mean Girls contains mature themes and language Seeking performers of all ethnicities, ages, and types. Student Roles: seeking strong performers in their teens, 20s, & 30s to play high schoolers.
