Mean Girls

Historic Main Stage

July 31 - August 2 · 2026

FRI-SAT 7:30 PM · SAT-SUN 2:00 PM

How fetch! Mean Girls hits the stage with the favorite characters from the beloved 2004 movie, powerful music, and timely pop culture and news references. Janis Sarkisian and Damian Hubbard welcome the audience to their “Cautionary Tale”: Cady Heron is the new girl at North Shore High School in Chicago, desperate to fit in and find friends. Janis and Damian befriend the new girl, and when The Plastics set their sights on Cady, Janis convinces naive Cady to be their “friend” in order to bring down Queen Bee Regina George’s reign. Along the way, Cady loses herself, her friends, and her crush, all for the chance to be popular and loved. When dethroned Regina gets revenge by releasing the Burn Book, Cady is brought down and must mend her broken relationships with Janis, Aaron, and even Regina. With dynamic songs for young performers, Mean Girls is an anthem to friendship, loyalty, girl power, and being true to yourself.

Mean Girls features a book by Tina Fey, lyrics by Nell Benjamin, and music by Jeff Richmond. OHTC Academy productions aim to work alongside our growing education department to give emerging artists meaningful, professional-level theatre experiences both onstage and behind the scenes. This production is directed by Heather Setzler.
