Tickets are now on sale for Cannon Theater Company’s Feb 11-14 production of “Mean Girls: High School Version” and can be reserved here! Adapted from Tina Fey’s hit 2004 film, the Mean Girls musical that took Broadway by storm is now being brought to you by our very own troupe of skilled, hard-working, and wildly creative Upper School students.

Mean Girls: High School Version” is a hilarious and uplifting but earnest cautionary tale about issues like bullying, social media impact, and the complexities of high school friendships. While the high school version of the musical tones down some of the original’s profanity and innuendo, it still retains the story’s realistic, PG-13 edge. For more specifics, feel free to reach out to director Andy Macdonald at amacdonald@cannonschool.org.

And don’t forget to mark your calendar for the 7th-8th grade production of “Dare To Dream Jr.”, a musical for all ages to be performed Feb 27 at 7:00pm!

Courage– They successfully navigated a complex schedule among 3,500 delegates from around the world
Passion – The team toured Harvard’s campus in -7°F weather, embracing the full experience
