Parkview Arts & Science Magnet High School presents the STATE PREMIER of Mean Girls: The Musical. Based on the beloved film by famed writer/actor/producer Tina Fey, Mean Girls explores the journey to authenticity and true friendship in the jungles of high school female social order. Inspired by the 2002 nonfiction book Queen Bees and Wannabees by Rosalind Wiseman, Fey weaves a tale about a girl named Cady who leaves her home in Africa for a new school in America. Though her parents thought this school would be safer, Cady discovers the predators are just as fierce. Cady navigates her way through friend groups until she tops the scale as the “Apex Predator.” She finds, however, that being the Apex Predator comes with its own set of challenges. This coming-of-age story serves as a cautionary tale for all the predators and prey who navigate the social jungles in any school anywhere.

Welcome to Parkview Theatre & Film
TransformTheatre exists as a collaborative art form. Designers, builders, makeup artists, lighting board operators, costumers, and stage crew members work alongside the actors and directors to transform a play from the written word to an experience. Parkview students have opportunities to explore all of those avenues and to create transformative moments.

ActWith MainStage shows each semester, 24-Hour Play festival, Freshman One Act, an extremely active mime troupe, a touring improv team, and so many more, Parkview students have many opportunities to grow as actors of all stripes.
Actors can sing and dance in the spring musical, and they can portray historical figures presenting scenes from their lives in the cemetery where they are laid to rest in Tales of the Crypt. Versatile opportunities allow actors to become well-rounded performers at Parkview. |

Fall ShowA group of teens on a tiny island in the Everglades of south Florida are stuck. Their families, their access to the world beyond, and the systems that hold their lives together all keep them from moving toward lives that could have them succeed. Will they make it out, or will these teens be caught Ever in the Glades?

Synopsis: Based on the beloved book by Roald Dahl, Matilda tells the story of a girl with wit, intelligence . . . and maybe even a little magic. Her parents are rude and cruel but she finds a special bond with her schoolteacher, the highly loveable Miss Honey. Matilda's school life isn't completely smooth sailing, though – the school's mean headmistress, Miss Trunchbull (the hilarious bad-guy of the show), HATES children and just loves thinking up new punishments for those who don't abide by her rules. But Matilda has courage and cleverness in equal amounts, and could be her classmate's only hope! Packed with high-energy dance numbers, catchy songs and unforgettable characters, Matilda is a joyous girl power romp. Children and adults alike will be thrilled and delighted by the story of the special girl with an extraordinary imagination.
