Project Title: Mean Girls High School Version
Project Description:

Join MTA’s Shooting Stars in our Spring Semester production of “MEAN GIRLS HIGH SCHOOL VERSION!’ This Broadway-style show is set in a state-of-the-art 300-seat theater with full sets and costumes.

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. How will this naïve newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, Cady learns the hard way that you can’t cross a Queen Bee without getting stung. Adapted from Book Writer Tina Fey’s hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards on Broadway.

REHEARSALS will occur every Saturday from 9:30 am to 1:30 pm for FULL CAST and every Thursday from 6:15 to 9:30 pm for smaller scenes and groups. You must be available to schedule both days of rehearsal if needed. A more detailed Final Rehearsal Schedule will be provided.
