---------------------------------------
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. But when Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, she learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.
Presented by Glenda Mitchell Law Firm
Actors must be at least 12 years old by August 6th. Actors can be no older than 18 by August 6th.
(CAN MY 12-YEAR OLD AUDITION FOR BOTH FROZEN KIDS AND MEAN GIRLS JR?
Technically, yes, but they will only be cast in one. If they are offered and accept a role in Frozen KIDS, they will not be offered a role in Mean Girls Jr, even if they audition. These programs are designed to offer as many opportunities as possible to our youth range, so we will not be casting the same actor in both performances.
Please note that most of the lead roles in both productions will be cast with actors in the older part of the respective age range. As a result, a 12-year-old who would like to play a bigger role may have a better shot with Frozen KIDS than they might in Mean Girls Jr.!)

Director: Erin Karstensen

AUDITIONS:
Actors should plan to attend only ONE of the audition dates – August 6th from 6-8:30pm or August 8th from 12-3pm. Please plan to attend the entire audition for whichever day you choose.
In advance of your audition, please prepare the verse and chorus of an age-appropriate musical theatre song. Please do not pick anything from Mean Girls Jr. Please bring a backing accompaniment track that can be played from your device. Ensure that your song does not use language that would be inappropriate for a room full of 12-18 year old students and their parents. Choices with foul language are not permitted. We do not recommend performing a cappella (without a track), and we cannot accommodate actors who wish to accompany themselves with a live instrument.
We are not requesting a monologue; instead, the director has asked that performers make BOLD acting choices with their song preparation.
At auditions, performers will be taught a brief dance combination.
We intend to cast no more than 30 performers. See below for a note about auditions.

Rehearsal: Rehearsals will occur Monday and Thursday evenings from 6:30pm until 8:30pm.
Tech Week: November 2-4th from 6-9pm
Performances: Thursday, November 5th at 9:30am (arrive at 8am, pick up around 11am)
Friday, November 6th and Saturday, November 7th at 7pm (arrive at 5pm)

A Note About Auditions
Auditions are not a place of judgment, and we are not equipped or qualified to determine whether or not someone is talented. Auditions are the actor’s opportunity to offer their gifts. We then have to decide how best to use them… or if we have a place for them at all.
While we’d love to cast every single person who comes out for our shows, we’re unable to do so. It’s heartbreaking! Please help everyone involved by preparing your auditioner for the possibility that we might not have a place for them this time. We often have twice as many auditions as we have roles to fill, and this unfortunately means having to cut some immensely talented people.
Please help us out by preparing your young actor before they come to auditions. If you do not believe they can handle possibly being cut from the show, we ask that you wait a bit longer before encouraging them to try out.
Thank you so much!
