For the past three months, the cast and crew of Mean Girls: The Musical have been hard at work stepping into their roles, learning their lines, building an amazing set, working out kinks in lighting, sound, and costume design, and experiencing the depth of learning opportunities that come only through theater. With the support of the production team, the cast (including a number of faculty and staff) and crew, produced a show that will make you laugh, cry, and have faith in how friendships can evolve over time.
Mean Girls: The Musical, written by Tina Fey, with lyrics by Nell Benjamin and music by Jeff Richmond, is based on the movie of the same name. Our favorite character from the film hit the stage as Janis Sarkisian (Lily Rusis ‘24) and Damian Hubbard (Austin Easterly ‘26) open the show with an introduction to Cady Heron (Violet Kraft-Lund Marley ‘24) as the “new girl” at North Shore High School. Janis and Damian befriend Cady, and a complicated journey of high school cliques, love, loyalty, family, friendship unfolds alongside Queen Bee Regina (Lily Mathison ‘24) and her friends Gretchen Wieners (Paige Makechnie ‘25) and Karen Smith (Sophie Mason ‘25) and Cady’s crush, Aaron Samuels (Jaden Williams ‘25).
Additional cast members Kevin Gnapoor (Aaron Caro-Barzey ‘26), Ms. Norbury (Kate Jones, Faculty), Mrs. George (Lynne Bartlett, Faculty), Mr. Duvall (Marc Flaherty, Faculty), Coach Carr (Gregor Makechnie, Faculty/Admin), Mrs. Heron (Christine Piquette, Staff), Mr. Heron (Kurt Croft, Chief Resource Manager), and “Teachers” (Alicia Barry - Faculty, and Laurel Shinerock - Faculty).
