RE: Crowder College Theatre Division to perform Mean Girls: The Musical
Neosho, MO – Crowder College – The iconic story of Mean Girls will hit the stage in the
Elsie Plaster Auditorium October 23 – 25 in the form of a musical performed by Crowder
College students, local high school students, and community members.
The musical production, by Tina Fey, Jeff Richmond and Nell Benjamin – based on the
original Paramount Pictures film, will be proudly presented by the Theatre Division on
October 23 and 24 at 7pm nightly, with a final showing to be held on October 25 at 2pm.
The Theatre’s production is directed by Theatre Director Annie Smith while Crowder
College Music Instructor, Lucas Janes, will be directing all music aspects of the show.
For those unfamiliar with the show, a sheltered, young teen is thrown into the thrills of
American high school after having been homeschooled in Africa. This is where she is
introduced to the wildly vast cliques of her new school, which includes “The Plastics,” the
well-known, popular group of the school reigned by Regina. Will Regina stay the queen
bee, or will Cady rise to the top? Join us to see how this story and the lessons learned for
the better will unfold.
The auditorium is inside the Elsie Plaster Community Center at Crowder College, located
at 601 Laclede Ave., Neosho, MO. To reserve tickets or request special accommodations,
please email FineArtsAssistant@Crowder.edu or call (417) 455.5678.
