‘Mean Girls’ Brings Memories, Music and Meanness To Arts Center

Carrollton’s Teen Theater will present Mean Girls, July 25  – 28  at the Center for the Arts.

Mean Girls takes me back to high school,” said Arts Center Manager Tim Chapman.  “I remember the days of selecting my social stratification and thinking that friends encompassed my world. Sometimes, I think we really never left high school.”

In the play, Cady Heron – who grew up on an African savanna – is not prepared for the wild and vicious ways of her new home in suburban Illinois. She tries to climb to the top of the popularity pecking order by taking on The Plastics, a trio of frenemies. Parental guidance is suggested for youth under 15.

“Sometimes we remember high school through rose-colored glasses,” said the show’s director, Tim Plumley. “Mean Girls is an honest, over-the-top look at high school life and the struggle to find yourself. These young people have worked hard all summer and I cannot wait for the community to see them perform. We have the best talent from at least six high schools all together on one stage.”

The performance is sponsored by Oak Mountain Academy.

Tickets are $15, $10 for 12 and younger and are available online at carrolltonarts.com, by phone at 770-838-1083 and at the center’s box office at 251 Alabama Street in Carrollton.
