As Mean Girls comes to a close we need to thank the many GJHP alums from New Trier High School who returned to help with this production. From auditions to the final bow, they worked tirelessly to make FETCH (and GROOL!) happen!

We are so grateful that so many amazing high schoolers are willing to take time from their busy schedules to support the next generation of GJHP cast and crew. We couldn't do it without them. The GJHP community is the best!

And a special thank you to our graduating seniors Belle (Stage Manager) and Indigo (Costume Apprentice). We will miss you but can't wait to see what the future holds!

And that's a wrap on Mean Girls! Congratulations to the GROOL Cast and the entire company for 4 amazing shows. You're al...

We conclude our Spotlights with 6th Grader Georgia who pumps up the volume at our Sound Board.

Georgia thinks you should come see Mean Girls "to experience the mix of drama and humor expressed perfectly on stage." Her favorite moment? Karen singing about Halloween (Bob likes that one too! 💀)

Georgia's favorite GJHP memory is watching the confetti go off during Newsies - a GJHP tradition that she now gets to be part of!

Her favorite Millennial movie is The Parent Trap - just please skip the platform flip flops.

Don't miss our last performance of Mean Girls, TODAY, May 3 at 3pm in Misner Auditorium at Central School in Glencoe. Tickets are still available for $20 at the door. This production is appropriate for all audiences!

Next up is Asher, who keeps everything running smoothly behind the scenes as the leader of our Stage Right run crew! Asher makes an impressive GJHP debut, bringing focus and serious backstage skills (just ask about Bob 💀).

Asher thinks you should come see Mean Girls because “the cast and crew are amazing, and it is such a fun show!” His favorite moment is “Do This Thing!”

One of Asher's favorite things about GJHP is that “everyone is so nice!” — and that positive energy shows in everything he does. His favorite millennial movie is Anchorman, so you know he appreciates great comedy.

Don’t miss GJHP’s final performance of Mean Girls, TODAY (Sunday, May 3) at 3pm in Misner Auditorium at Central School in Glencoe. Tickets are $15 at gjhp.org/mean-girls or $20 at the door! Appropriate for all audiences!

We cannot conclude our run of Mean Girls without highlighting our Stage Crew, starting with 8th Grader Ava on spotlight. Ava returns to GJHP after hitting the mark as a spot op (and designer!) for Spelling Bee last fall — and we’re so glad she’s back lighting up the stage!

Ava thinks you should come see Mean Girls because “it looks so good and it’s amazing!” — and honestly, she would know (she has the best view in the house!). Her favorite moment in the show is the powerful anthem “I’d Rather Be Me."

Ava’s favorite millennial movie is Scream — keeping things a little spooky offstage! (Luckily we get to celebrate Halloween at every performance!).

Don’t miss our final performance of Mean Girls, TODAY (Sunday, May 3) at 3pm in Misner Auditorium at Central School in Glencoe. 🎟️ Tickets are $15 at gjhp.org/mean-girls (link in bio) or $20 at the door. Appropriate for all audiences!

Our final cast member is 6th grader Helena who is making her GJHP debut as North Shore teen Grace.

Always exuding kindness and exemplifying the GJHP spirit, Helena hopes that this production of Mean Girls inspires more students to join the GJHP musical next year! Thank you for being part of our amazing community Helena!

Helena's favorite moment in the show is "I See Stars" - which is appropriate because she sparkles like one! She loves getting dressed up for that Spring Fling scene! Actually, Helena's favorite thing about GJHP is getting to dress up for the show - but NO Y2K-inspired ultra low rise jeans! That is a fashion don't!

But what IS cool? Helena's Dream Role: Anna in Frozen!

You have one more chance to see Mean Girls - Sunday, May 3 at 3pm in Misner Auditorium at Central School in Glencoe. Tickets are $15 at gjhp.org/mean-girls or $20 at the door. This production is appropriate for all ages!
