WHAT TO EXPECT
Mean Girls Jr. is a musical adaptation of the hit 2004 film Mean Girls, tailored for young performers in grades 6-12. The show follows the story of Cady Heron, a teenager who moves to the United States after living in Africa and gets introduced to the complex social dynamics of high school. She quickly becomes entangled with a group of popular girls known as "The Plastics," led by the manipulative Regina George. As Cady navigates the challenges of fitting in, she must decide whether to compromise her values or stay true to herself. Filled with catchy songs, comedic moments, and relatable themes of friendship and self-identity, Mean Girls Jr. is a fun, high-energy show that explores the impact of social pressures and the importance of kindness.
AUDITION DETAILS
Students in grades 6-12 are invited to audition for our youth musical productions. To sign up, simply follow the registration link provided below. Auditioning is completely free, but if your child is selected for a role, tuition fees will apply to cover participation in the production. For more details on these fees, please see the information provided below.
Vocal Audition: Select a song from a Broadway musical or movie (not from Mean Girls). Your audition should be between 60-90 seconds (verse and chorus), using an instrumental backing track (no a cappella). If you are auditioning for Cady, Janice, Damian, Regina, Gretchen, Karen, Samuel, or Kevin, you may also be asked to sing a solo segment from one of those character's songs.
Dance Audition: After the vocal auditions, all students will participate in a dance portion. Even if you don’t consider yourself a dancer, the artistic team just wants to see how you move.
Cold Read: We will provide sides (scenes) for various characters. Participants will be paired up and asked to read together. This will allow the artistic team to see how you interpret a scene, interact with a partner, and bring the characters to life.
AUDITIONS: APRIL 19, 2025

STUDENT COMMITMENT
FINANCIAL COMMITMENT
Participants in PCPA productions are expected to fully commit to the rehearsal and performance process. This includes attending all scheduled rehearsals and being actively involved in the preparation for the show. To ensure a smooth production, any potential conflicts—like family events or special occasions—must be disclosed during the audition process on a conflict form. Once auditions are complete, no additional conflicts can be added.
Cast members are responsible for participating fully in both pre-show preparations and live performances, contributing to the overall success of the production. Each participant is expected to demonstrate dedication, punctuality, and a positive attitude throughout the rehearsal period, as this fosters a focused and collaborative environment for everyone involved. This level of commitment ensures that every youth cast member can develop their skills and contribute meaningfully to the final production, resulting in a polished and high-quality show.
PARENT COMMITMENT
Our productions are only possible because of the incredible support of our families. Volunteer involvement is the heartbeat of everything we do, and we invite you to be part of the behind-the-scenes magic that helps bring Mean Girls Jr. to life.
There are countless ways to get involved—whether it’s helping with costumes, props, set construction, backstage coordination, makeup, concessions, tech support, photography, or something else entirely. Every bit of help makes a meaningful impact.
If volunteering in a traditional way doesn’t work for your family, that’s okay—please reach out. We’re happy to find a role that fits your time, talents, and availability. Your support, in any form, helps us create something truly special for these young performers.
Parents are also responsible for ensuring that their child attends all scheduled rehearsals and performances. As a reminder, no new conflicts can be added after casting.
Audition Fee: Auditioning is free, but if you are cast, the following tuition applies:
$195 Tuition (10% Discount when registering 2 or more children )
This tuition covers licensing fees, production costs, and includes a show t-shirt for your child. Additional t-shirts can be purchased by family and friends.
Costume Costs: While most costumes are provided, students may need to supply personal items such as socks, shoes, undergarments, and occasionally basic clothing like leggings or t-shirts.
A NOTE ABOUT REHEARSAL
Rehearsals are an essential part of creating a successful production, and they often involve periods of waiting and practicing patience. Cast members are expected to remain at rehearsal for the entire time they are called, even if they have free moments between scenes or activities.
If you find yourself with downtime during rehearsal, we encourage you to stay engaged and contribute by asking, “What can I do, and how can I help?” Whether it’s assisting with props, helping a fellow cast member rehearse, or preparing for your next scene, your support and involvement are crucial to the team’s success.
Thank you for your dedication and teamwork—it makes all the difference!
