RATED PG-13 for some mature language and situations.

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. How will this naive newbie rise to the top of the popularity pecking order? By taking on The Plastics, a trio of lionized frenemies led by the charming but ruthless Regina George. But when Cady and her friends devise a "Revenge Party" to end Regina's reign, she learns the hard way that you can't cross a Queen Bee without getting stung.

Adapted from Tina Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards.

A recent summa cum laude graduate of the Crane School of Music with concentrations in orchestra and special education, Bartlett began giving private music lessons during high school, where she discovered a love for teaching. Bartlett was involved in the Northport-East Northport School District’s summer music program for seven years, beginning as a volunteer and progressing from assistant to lead assistant, and now to certified teacher.

As a performer, Bartlett has been a member of various orchestra and chamber ensembles, including the Orchestra of Northern New York. An accomplished orchestra pit musician, she has performed in various theaters across Long Island.

Islip High School Presents ‘Little Shop of Horrors’

A talented cast and crew drew a full house during performances of ”Little Shop of Horrors,” held at Islip High School this fall. Staged and performed by students of the high school’s theater class with the guidance of Dr. Richard Harris, the two-act black comedy based on the off-Broadway musical moved the audience with its story about a geeky florist who finds out his Venus flytrap has an insatiable appetite for human blood.

In addition to the quirky and fun-filled plot line, student-performers entertained the audiences with popular musical numbers including “Grow for Me,” “Suddenly Seymour” and “Suppertime.”

Director of Fine and Performing Arts Brian Kroll congratulated the cast and crew on such a wonderful production. “The singing, dancing and acting truly displayed the hard work that was put forth in order to produce such a wonderful show,” Mr. Kroll said.
