BOTG presents "Mean Girls" 🩷

Mean Girls The Musical brings Tina Fey's iconic film to the stage with sharp comedy, bold music, and high school drama. When Cady Heron enters North Shore High for the first time, she discovers that navigating the social hierarchy may be tougher than life on the African savanna — especially when she meets Regina George and The Plastics. The show features razor-sharp comedy, unforgettable music, and plenty of laughs alongside life lessons. However, it depicts bullying and cyberbullying, includes mature language and sexual innuendo, shows teens drinking, and contains commentary on body image. The production is recommended for ages 13 and up.

In Conversation With Rick Campanelli

Rick Campanelli, media personality and former MuchMusic VJ, discusses his memoir Tempted in conversation. The book chronicles Campanelli's rise from a Hamilton teenager who won a nationwide contest to become a VJ on the iconic Canadian music station, quickly becoming a national on-air personality known as "Rick the Temp." His warm, affable personality won over millions of Canadians across the country. Behind the public success, Campanelli writes, lay a hidden struggle. Tempted reveals, for the first time, the personal battles and "deep dark secrets" that nearly derailed his life — a cautionary tale of what can happen when control is lost. The memoir balances accomplishments and living fully with honest accounts of mistakes and flaws, offering Campanelli's complete story after more than thirty years in the public eye.
