Mean Girls, Jr.
The Forum 115 E Monroe Ave, Jonesboro, AR 72401The Plastics will take the Forum Theater stage for Mean Girls JR! This “fetch” musical is packed with keen wit, an undeniably catchy score, and a sincere message for everyone.

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. Cady and her friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign with Cady going undercover as an aspiring Plastic. When the lines between the real Cady and her Plastic self get blurred, she must find her way back to herself and her true friends. From writer Tina Fey (30 Rock), lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt. Adapted from Fey’s 2004 blockbuster film and the Broadway smash hit, Mean Girls JR.
