Show Description: Mean Girls jr. is a musical about Cady Heron, a teenager who has been homeschooled her whole life in Africa, but moves to the United States and goes to a public high school. As she tries to fit in and learn the social dynamics, she becomes friends with Janis and Damian, who warn her about the most popular and powerful clique at school called "The Plastics", led by Regina George. At first, Cady makes a plan with Janis and Damian to be pretend friends with Regina to expose and end her toxic behavior. However, Cady slowly becomes caught up in popularity, gossip, and social pressure. She begins to change, becoming focused on popularity and trying to fit in, and she ends up hurting Janis and Damian. Chaos in school arises when pages from the "Burn Book" get released. Eventually, the school's conflicts explode, forcing everyone to take responsibility for their actions and the way they treat one another. Cady takes responsibility for her choices and works to make amends with Janis and Damian. The social hierarchy comes to an end and peace is restored. In the end, everyone learns that confidence comes from self-acceptance, not comparison.
There are a couple of things we would like you to be aware of during this performance:
This show runs under 2 hours, including a 15 minute intermission.
There are plot points in the show that deal with judging, bullying, cliques, peer pressure, cheating, homophobia, and body image.
Intense scenes include the "Burn Book" reveal and a person getting hit by a bus
