Holland High Theatre and Be Nice are teaming up on a production of Mean Girls.  This week we talk with two of the stars of the show: Gretchen Timmer and Hailey Hugget.

HHS Theatre and Be Nice present Mean Girls

Mean Girls is a musical based on the popular 2004 movie. It’s about Cady Heron, a teenager who moves from Africa to Illinois and enters a new high school.

This musical explores the challenges of teenage life and the importance of staying true to oneself.
