Centering Space

The theme of friendship has a long, rich history giving depth to our contemporary ideas of friendship—now missing in our sound-bite, multi-tasking, busy culture. Join facilitator Alan Kolp, a life-long Quaker and Benedictine Oblate, as we explore how spiritual friendship adds another dimension and is a key to a longer life with flourishing possibilities. Join Aristotle and others in this friendship adventure. Your Free Will Offering supports the Ministry of Centering Space.

Book by Tina Fey, lyricist Nell Benjamin (Legally Blonde) and composer Jeff Richmond (Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt). Adapted from Fey's hit 2004 film, Mean Girls.
Directed by Scott Spence, Musical direction by Larry Goodpaster, and choreography by Lauren Marousek. Senney Theater. July 10 to August 9, 2026 with Thursdays July 23, 30, and August 6, 2026. Presented in arrangement with Music Theatre International (MTI). 

Mean Girls was nominated for a staggering 12 Tony Awards. We have all experienced some “Plastics” in our lives. Cady Heron grew up on an African savanna, but nothing could prepare her for the wild and malicious ways of her strange adventure in suburban Illinois. How will this naïve newbie rise to popularity? By taking on frenemies led by the charming but cutting Regina George. Cady learns the hard way that you can’t cross a queen bee without getting stung.

"...Mean Girls is a marvel." - Entertainment Weekly
