The EVSC Foundation is bringing an opportunity to attend a "fetch" musical performance this summer.

Each year, the EVSC summer musical gives students a chance to immerse themselves in a rigorous and intensive Broadway-caliber production in a professional theater facility. They learn about music, theater and other fine arts skills while developing socially and cognitively.

Open to the public, the musical allows community members to show support for the students who have worked hard to put on the production.

Here's what you need to know about the 2024 EVSC Summer Musical.

What is the 2024 EVSC Summer Musical?

This year's play will be "Mean Girls, High School Version," based on the 2004 film "Mean Girls" that starred Lindsey Lohan and Rachael McAdams. In the movie, Tina Fey coined the term "fetch" to mean "cool" or "awesome."

The official play description reads: "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."

When does the musical take place?

The show takes place July 18-21 with showtimes on Thursday through Saturday at 7 p.m. and Sunday at 2 p.m.
