THUNDER BAY – Superior CVI’s newest stage production is going to be “totally fetch”.
Over 60 Superior CVI students are working together to put on Mean Girls the High School Musical according to school principal, Ryan McDonnell, who said it was great to see the students come together and collaborate.
"This has been a whole school-wide initiative. Our kids are very, very excited and are into this. The show is incredible,” he said.
“It's a really catchy musical with a powerful message and our kids have gotten behind it right from the beginning and are excited to show the community our show later this week.”
Mean Girls is a musical with a book by Tina Fey, lyrics by Nell Benjamin, and music by Jeff Richmond that tells the story of new girl Cady Heron taking on the plastics- the most popular girls in school.
"She's experiencing all these challenges with friends and where she fits in her school,” said stage manager and grade 12 student, Norah Rutter. “It's a really powerful show with a lot of super strong messages about social norms, social expectations and sort of what it means to be yourself.”
The show runs from April 24 to 27 with a showing each night at 7 p.m. in the Superior CVI Cafetorium. Tickets cost $20 each and are available for purchase in advance from the main office or at the door if any are left by showtime. Proceeds will be donated to Our Kids Count.
