Studio G invites you back-to-school when students present the smart and ferociously funny musical Mean Girls JR. Beginning April 26th at Napa Valley College Performing Arts Center. 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.

"We are absolutely thrilled to bring Mean Girls Jr. to the Napa Valley College Performing Arts Center, giving our incredible students the opportunity to showcase their talent in such a stunning venue. These performers have dedicated years to honing their craft-they are honor students, community leaders, and role models both on and off the stage." Says Genavieve Gillis, Director and Owner of Studio G School of Music and Theatre. "While the title may say 'Mean Girls', don't be fooled-this cast is made up of some of the kindest, most hardworking kids in town. Through humor, heart, and a lot of pink, this production delivers powerful lessons on friendship, authenticity, accountability, and discovering where you truly belong. We can't wait to share their talent and this meaningful story with our community and beyond," she adds.

Mean Girls JR. is a version of the hit musical Mean Girls that has been adapted for performance by students. The musical, featuring a book by Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyrics by Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde), and music by composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt), was adapted from Fey's hit 2004 film, which, in turn, was based on the 2002 nonfiction book Queen Bees and Wannabes by Rosalind Wiseman. Mean Girls opened on Broadway in 2018 and was nominated for 12 Tony Awards. Due to COVID-19, the production played its final Broadway performance on March 11, 2020.

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 Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a queen bee without getting stung.
