Bio:

The *Heathers: The Musical - High School Edition* script is a stage adaptation of the 1988 cult film *Heathers*, tailored for a high school audience. This version, written by Laurence O'Keefe and Kevin Murphy, retains the darkly comedic, satirical tone of the original while adapting content to be more appropriate for younger performers and audiences. It follows the story of Veronica Sawyer, a high school student who gets tangled with the popular and dangerous Heathers and the brooding new student, Jason "J.D." Dean. Together, they embark on a path of chaos and destruction, leading to darkly humorous, morally complex situations. The script includes a mix of rock-infused songs and sharp dialogue, exploring themes of social hierarchy, identity, and rebellion. The High School Edition removes explicit content, including some mature language and themes, while still maintaining the essence of the original story.
