Ralston Mean Girls JR. Registration

This year’s production, Mean Girls JR., explores themes of friendship, belonging, exclusion, and the impact our words and actions can have on others. These themes give us an important opportunity to be thoughtful about the kind of community we create both on and off stage.

San Carlos Children’s Theater and the Ralston PTA are committed to making this production, as every production, welcoming, inclusive, and supportive. Our goal with this show is that the same lessons at the heart of Mean Girls – empathy, acceptance, and the importance of how we treat one another – will be reflected throughout our entire production by students and parents alike, and we appreciate every family’s help in creating a community where we approach one another with kindness, respect, and understanding.

SYNOPSIS

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. Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign with Cady going undercover as an aspiring Plastic. When the lines between the real Cady and her Plastic self get blurred, she must find her way back to herself and her true friends.
