Note from the author, Tina Fey
"When I wrote the movie [Mean Girls] in 2003 (Were you even born?!), I set out to write truthfully and with humor about relational aggression among girls. I hoped that if we could recognize this behavior in ourselves, and laugh about it, it would be easier to stop doing it. Spoiler alert: I did not fix the world! Relational aggression is still around. And it’s not just among girls. We see it everywhere, from the highest branches of government to the preschool playground. But I still believe that this story can help us cope through humor, and also now through singing.
I’ve been looking forward to high school productions of Mean Girls from the day we opened on Broadway... As a former youth theater director, I hoped that letting students play characters their own age, with a story they can relate to, would be fun and lead to some great conversations...
Be good to each other and have fun."
Sincerely,
TINA FEY
