DOYLESTOWN, PA ? The award-winning Harlequin Club of Central Bucks High School West, a donation-supported theatre program for students, is bringing "Mean Girls High School Version" to the stage from March 14 to 17.

Adapted from the hit movie, the production promises to captivate audiences with its catchy tunes, witty dialogue, and iconic characters in this hilariously irreverent musical.

The show follows heroin, Cady Heron, who, after moving to a new school, struggles to rise to the top of the popularity pecking order by taking on the charming but ruthless Plastics under the behest of her newfound friends, Damian and Janis. Lies, manipulation, and sabotage ensue as the girls fight for dominance. But woven throughout this cheeky script are poignant moments that explore the universal themes of friendship, honesty, acceptance, and individuality.
