About the Show

Westerberg High is ruled by a shoulder-padded, scrunchie-wearing junta: Heather, Heather and Heather, the hottest and cruelest girls in all of Ohio. But misfit Veronica Sawyer rejects their evil regime for a new boyfriend, the dark and sexy stranger J.D., who plans to put the Heathers in their place -- six feet under.

Our Vision

Our team set out to deliver a production that challenged audiences to reflect on how they treat others. High school—or really any social setting—can heighten divides and cruelty. Still, the impact of our choices extends far beyond adolescence. Through Veronica’s journey—from complicity in a toxic system to actively breaking he cycle—we explored how small actions can either deepen or disrupt patterns of harm. By embracing empathy over isolation, our production asked: In a world already full of hardship, why be the ones to make it worse? Through bold storytelling and raw emotion, we invited audiences to consider how they can make life beautiful.
