San Diego Junior Theatre Presents “Mean Girls: High School Version”
San Diego Junior Theatre, the nation’s longest-running youth theatre program, closes out its 76th Season with the hit musical, “Mean Girls: High School Version,” based on the cult classic film. “Mean Girls: High School Version” will run Fridays at 7 p.m. and Saturdays and Sundays at 2 p.m. from July 26 to August 11, 2024. All Junior Theatre productions are performed in Balboa Park’s historic Casa del Prado Theatre, 1600 Village Place, at the corner of Old Globe Way.
Cady Heron may have grown up on an African Savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her new home…suburban Illinois. In the halls of North Shore High School, Cady unwittingly infiltrates the most popular and cutthroat clique known as The Plastics. She rises to the top of the popularity pecking order by taking on the ruthless Regina George and learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.
“Mean Girls” will be directed by Shawn Foote, co-director of last season’s sold out “Matilda, The Musical.” Rounding out the creative team are JT alum and frequent choreographer Marc Caro-Willcox, and music director, Eliza Vedar, who most recently music directed the hugely successful “Diary of a Wimpy Kid.”
With an array of catchy songs and vibrant choreography, “Mean Girls” will have audiences dancing in their seats. The production is recommended for ages 13 and up, due to mature subject matter.
