Arbour Lake invites you to back-to-school when students present the smart and ferociously funny musical MEAN GIRLS JR. beginning May 7th at Arbour Lake Middle School. Adapted from the hit movie written by Tina Fey and starring Lindsay Lohan, MEAN GIRLS JR. tells the story of student Cady Heron who must learn to navigate the treacherous social hierarchy of high school when her family moves to suburban Illinois from Kenya.
MEAN GIRLS JR. is a hilarious and totally fetch show with some very important lessons about friendship, authenticity, and accountability. Throughout the musical, we watch characters journey from changing parts of themselves in order to belong, to living as the unique and brave shining stars that they are, says Drew Cohen, President and CEO of Music Theatre International. 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 naive 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 devises a plan to end Reginas reign, she learns the hard way that you cant cross a queen bee without getting stung.
