2025-2026 Professional Theater Season
Mean Girls
July 10 - August 9, 2026
About the Show
Senney Theater
Book by Tina Fey, lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). Adapted from Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls.
Presented in arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI).
Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. We have all experienced some “Plastics” in our lives. Cady Heron grew up on an African savanna, but nothing could prepare her for the wild and malicious ways of her strange adventure in suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to popularity? By taking on frenemies led by the charming but cutting Regina George. Cady learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.
"...Mean Girls is a marvel."

Auditions
Auditions for MEAN GIRLS:
The NE Ohio locally produced premiere of the Broadway hit musical “Mean Girls” playing this summer on Beck Center’s Senney Main Stage will hold Open Call auditions by appointment only on March 8th and March 9th. Audition slots will begin with 6 PM availability each day. To ensure an audition slot, interested performers should call Beck Patron Services at 216-521-2540 during regular business hours (Generally Noon to 8PM on weekdays, and various weekend hours.)
Open Call Auditions can also take place by submitting a video if preferred. If called back, it is highly desirable that performers are able to appear at callbacks in person, however.
Callbacks sessions will occur on Sat., March 14th and Sunday, March 15th, 2026.
For initial auditions, please prepare one vocal selection that shows off your voice. This selection should not be more than 90 seconds in length. No monologues are required, and all dance calls will be held as part of the Callback process. The vast majority of roles are High School age-appearing. Requirements for auditions are that performers should be at least 16 years old as of Opening Night, July 10th, 2026
Note: Deadline for any video submissions is Friday, March 6th, 2026 at 5PM.
Please submit to: scottdavidspence@gmail.com
All roles are open for “Mean Girls”. It is anticipated that Two (2) Equity contracts will be available for this production. All non-equity performers who are 18 and over receive a stipend for their participation. Performers under 18 are not compensated.
While non-local performers are certainly encouraged to audition, please know that Beck Center is unable to provide housing or transportation, and that stipends are unlikely to go very far in deferring these expenses.
