Devon Frieder Productions

Mean Girls

Cady Heron may have grown up on an African savanna, but nothing prepared her for the wild and vicious ways of her strange new home: suburban Illinois. When Cady encounters The Plastics—a trio of powerful frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George—she becomes caught in the school’s popularity hierarchy. Cady and her new friends devise a “Revenge Party” to end Regina’s reign, but Cady soon learns that taking down a queen bee can come at a cost—and that losing yourself is far more dangerous than losing a popularity contest.

Roles to Audition For: AVAILABLE ROLES
Seeking performers of all ethnicities, ages, and types. Student Roles: seeking strong performers in their teens, 20s, & 30s to play high schoolers. Adults: 40s and up.

*Note: The role of Cady has been cast. HOWEVER, we are seeking STRONG UNDERSTUDIES for all roles.

CADY HERON (UNDERSTUDY): Female (Contemporary Soprano w/ Belt: G3–Gb5) The new student at North Shore High School. Raised and homeschooled in Africa, Cady is intelligent, sincere, and initially unfamiliar with the social rules of American high school. As she becomes entangled with The Plastics, her desire for acceptance threatens to change who she is. Strong vocalist with heart and comic timing. Strong mover.

REGINA GEORGE: Female (Mezzo-Soprano/Belter, F#3–Gb5) The commanding and calculating leader of The Plastics. Regina is magnetic, confident, and fully aware of the power she holds over everyone around her. Beneath her polished exterior is a formidable opponent who refuses to surrender her status quietly. Powerful singer with exceptional range and strong stage presence. Strong mover.

JANIS SARKISIAN: Female (Mezzo w/ High Belt, Ab3–F5). An artistic, outspoken social outsider who refuses to conform. Janis is observant, fiercely independent, and driven by a complicated history with Regina. Her sharp confidence conceals genuine hurt and a desire for revenge. Strong rock-influenced vocalist.

DAMIAN HUBBARD: Male (Broadway Tenor, F2–A4) Janis’s outgoing, theatrical, and fiercely loyal best friend. Damian is witty, warm, and unapologetically himself, with excellent comic instincts and a strong connection to Janis. Excellent mover. Tap skills a plus.

GRETCHEN WIENERS: Female (Soprano/Mezzo, G3–D5) A member of The Plastics who is desperate to maintain Regina’s approval and her place within the group. Gretchen is anxious, talkative, and always ready with someone else’s secrets. Her insecurity and vulnerability should remain visible beneath the comedy. Strong mover.

KAREN SMITH: Female (Mezzo-Soprano, G3–Gb5) A sweet, relaxed, and delightfully naïve member of The Plastics. Karen may not be academically gifted, but she is genuinely kind and often provides some of the show’s biggest comic moments. Requires excellent comedic timing. Strong mover.

AARON SAMUELS: Male (Contemporary Tenor, B2–Bb4) A popular student with an easygoing personality, a good moral compass, and more backbone than people initially expect. Aaron becomes the focus of Cady’s attraction and Regina’s manipulation but does not want to be treated as a prize in their rivalry.

MRS. HERON/MRS. GEORGE: Female, 40s-50s (Mezzo-Soprano, Eb5-G3) Comedic actress to portray Cady’s crunchy, intelligent and concerned mother and Regina’s boundary-free “cool mom”. Requires strong character work, comedic versatility, and a flexible musical-theatre voice.

MS. NORBURY: Female, 30s-50s (Mezzo, Eb5-G3) The sharp, world-weary, and more than a little sarcastic calculus teacher who recognizes Cady’s potential and encourages her to be true to herself. Requires strong comedic timing and a flexible musical-theatre voice.

MR. DUVALL: Male, 40s-50s (Baritone/Tenor) The overwhelmed principal of North Shore High School. Mr. Duvall is doing his best to manage the chaos of the student body despite being hilariously underprepared for the realities of teenage conflict. Strong comedic actor and singer.

COACH CARR: Male, 40s-50s (Baritone/Tenor) The North Shore High School gym teacher and coach who is completely unequipped for the chaos of high school, famous for his blunt abstinence speech. Strong comedic timing, deadpan delivery, and the ability to play a figure of misplaced authority who is completely clueless. Primarily an acting role with comedic dialogue and strong stage presence.

KEVIN GNAPOOR: Male (Baritone/Tenor with Rap Skills) The ambitious, self-assured captain of the North Shore Mathletes. Kevin is intelligent, energetic, confident, and an adept rapper. Strong sense of rhythm and comic presence required. Strong mover.

FEATURED ROLES & ENSEMBLE: Dynamic performers to portray the students, teachers, Mathletes, athletes, partygoers, and other members of the North Shore community. The ensemble is heavily featured throughout the production and requires strong singers, dancers, actors, and comedic performers. Movement styles include hip hop, jazz, and tap for some.
