On Wednesdays we wear pink, and on Thursday through Sunday members of Mon River Arts Youth Theatre are hoping you’ll join them at Grand Theatre in Elizabeth for their presentation of “Mean Girls, Jr.” Starting Thursday with a special pay-what-you-can night at 7:30 p.m. the cast will tell the story of Cady Heron as she leaves her home on an African savanna and is forced to find her place in the wild world of an American high school.

To read the rest of the story, please see a copy of Tuesday’s Mon Valley Independent, call 724-314-0035 to subscribe or subscribe to our online edition at http://monvalleyindependent.com.
