Chemeketa Theatre Under The Stars Brings Mean Girls The Musical To Salem’s Riverfront Stage This July - 05/27/26

Outdoor Summer Production Features Broadway Energy, Live Orchestra, and the Acclaimed Creative Team Behind Chemeketa’s Beloved Musicals 

 

Salem, Ore., May Day, 2026— Chemeketa Community College in partnership with local theatre professionals, invites the community to enjoy a hilarious and high-energy outdoor production of Mean Girls the Musical at the Gerry Frank Amphitheater in Riverfront City Park, located at 200 Water Street NE in Salem.

Performances will run July 7–12, with various evening showtimes and a special matinee performance on July 11 at 11:00 a.m.

Based on the hit movie written by Tina Fey, Mean Girls the Musical transforms the iconic story into a vibrant Broadway experience packed with sharp humor, unforgettable songs, energetic choreography, and heartfelt moments. The production explores the challenges of high school life, friendship, identity, and the real impact of bullying while delivering plenty of laughs along the way.

The production comes from the acclaimed directing and choreography team behind past production favorites including Oliver!, Mary Poppins, Annie Get Your Gun, A Christmas Story, and James and the Giant Peach. Audiences can also expect the outstanding live musical performances Chemeketa Theatre has become known for, featuring a live orchestra made up of professional musicians from across the Willamette Valley.

“This production has all the elements audiences love — humor, incredible music, powerful performances, and a message that still resonates today,” said Dr. Marie Hulett, Associate Vice President, Chemeketa Community College. “We are proud to partner with talented local theatre professionals to create experiences that bring our community together and showcase the extraordinary creativity and artistry found throughout our region.”

Audience members are encouraged to bring low-profile lawn chairs, cozy blankets, and picnic favorites to enjoy an unforgettable outdoor theatre experience full of laughter, powerful moments, and a message that reminds us all: being kind never goes out of style.
