Carle Place High School students in the Carle Place Theatre Company hit the stage on March 17th and 18th for their production of “Mean Girls.” Carle Place Middle/High School English Language Arts teacher Samuel Plotkin directed and co-produced the show, along with Carle Place Middle/High School art teacher Daniel Krause who co-produced and built the show’s set.

Based on the popular 2004 movie “Mean Girls,” the talented cast of students kept audiences fully entertained and laughing as they performed the high school version of the story. Carle Place senior Lyla Karekinian played the leading role of Cady Heron, a teenage girl who moves from Africa to the United States and attends high school for the first time. Here, she befriends Janis, played by sophomore Daniella Falco, and Damian, played by sophomore Reese Aguilar. Cady soon gets involved with the “mean girls” at the school – queen bee Regina George, played by junior Leah Kelly, and her sidekicks Karen, played by senior Angie Nelson and Gretchen, played by freshman Carolina Viegas. Her high school experience changes at every turn.

With entertaining musical numbers, led by choreographer Joan Caliendo, musical director Jeremy Wainright and pit director Richard Stein, the students shined on stage during their performances on Friday and Saturday. Congratulations to the entire cast, crew and pit on an outstanding production!
