Mean Girls Opens This Week!
Pre-purchase your tickets before they sell out!
Tuesday, November 10th - Saturday, November 14th
7:00 PM Each Night + a 1 PM Saturday Matinee
Mean Girls is the high-energy, "fetch" musical phenomenon that proves high school is a literal jungle. When Cady Heron moves from the African savanna to suburban Illinois, she quickly learns that the apex predators aren’t lions, they’re The Plastics. Led by the diamond-hard Regina George, this trio of queen bees rules North Shore High with a mix of glitter and gossip that will leave you breathless. With a powerhouse pop-rock score and a razor-sharp script by Tina Fey, the show brilliantly balances hilarious nostalgia with a modern heart. Grab your seat and prepare for a riotous, high-stakes lesson in popularity, friendship, and the consequences of the "Burn Book." Just remember: we wear pink, and you definitely can't sit with anyone else until you've seen this show!
This show is Rated PG-13 for adult language, teen drinking, and mature topics.
During the week of November 9-13, we celebrate National School Psychology Week! Castle View is incredibly proud of our psychologist, Nicol Bessette. School Psychologists often work behind the scenes to advocate for our students' mental health and to foster safe, inclusive environments. Ms. Bessette models empathy, kindness, and perseverance for our staff and students! If you see her this week, please take a moment to extend a thank you for her commitment to our Sabercat community!
