Four Mars Area Middle School students will take the stage for Perform! Pittsburgh Theater & Talent’s production of “Heathers” at 2 p.m. and 6:30 p.m. Saturday, May 10. The stage is in Mars at 164 Brickyard Road, Suite 200.

Cast members include eighth-grader Kate Chomicki, who will portray Veronica; eighth-grader Ashlyn Coone, playing Veronica’s Mom; seventh-grader Tyler Lemankiewicz, playing Ram’s Dad; and seventh-grader Colton McKotch, as Big Bud Dean.

Based on the 1989 film, “Heathers” follows high school senior Veronica Sawyer, who longs to be cool like the clique of it-girls that runs Westerberg High. However, when Veronica is invited into the group, she finds out that being one of the Heathers isn’t what she thought it would be, according to Mars Area School District.

Tickets are $15. For ticket information, visit https://app.gostudiopro.com/tickets/index.php?id=zaqlxajd29jd25dc5853b8955309jasdklj21dx5dc5853b89590.
