Lakefield College School Students Shine in Sold-Out Performances of Mean Girls
This week, The Bryan Jones Theatre at LCS was abuzz with laughter and applause as over 60 talented students brought Mean Girls to life across four sold-out performances. From start to finish, the production captivated audiences with its sharp humour, heartfelt messages, and standout performances.
Every moment of the production was a standout. From Karen Smith’s hilariously endearing one-liners, brought to life by Maia Brocklehurst ’25, to Regina George’s commanding presence, portrayed by Micaiah Ejim ’25, and Janis’ zany personality delivered by Jenna Quinn ’26, the cast embodied their characters with authenticity and flair. Audiences witnessed a delightful mix of comedic timing, powerful vocal performances, and dynamic choreography.
The costumes paid homage to the original Mean Girls movie, immersing the audience in the world of North Shore High School. Meanwhile, the vibrant set design transported viewers from the African savanna to the bustling mall, a frozen yogurt shop, Regina George’s iconic bedroom, and more. These creative elements, combined with our students’ energy and dedication, made for an unforgettable theatrical experience.
The production’s success was a true testament to collaboration. Preparation began in September, with students not only stepping into roles on stage but also contributing behind the scenes as part of the crew and set design teams. The commitment of everyone involved highlighted the power of teamwork and the vibrant arts culture at Lakefield College School.
From opening night to the final curtain call, audiences responded with enthusiasm, laughing and cheering throughout the show. Among the eager attendees was Head of School Anne-Marie Kee, who was thrilled to support the student performers on opening night.
As the final bows were taken, students left the stage not only with a sense of accomplishment but also with the knowledge that their work had touched hearts and sparked important conversations.
Congratulations to the cast and crew of Mean Girls for delivering a performance that was, in the words of Gretchen Wieners, “so fetch.”
Supporting a Meaningful Cause
Directed by Mr. and Mrs. Bemrose, Mean Girls wasn’t just about showcasing talent—it was about sparking meaningful conversations. “I believe in using the arts as a powerful platform for positive change,” she shared. “This play presented a valuable opportunity to initiate conversations around body positivity. Rather than shying away, I embraced the challenge of addressing these narratives. I hope the audience gained awareness of difficult topics and feels inspired to embrace kindness and inclusivity.”
In line with this message, the production raised funds for the National Eating Disorder Information Centre (NEDIC), furthering its mission of fostering understanding and support.
