? ‘Mean Girls’ Performances To Come + Championships At Jeffco

Good morning, friends! It’s me, Carla Varner, your host of the Daily. Let’s get this Monday started off right, with a quick review of the most important things going on around town.

First, today’s weather:

High clouds and breezy. High: 59 Low: 53.

Here are the top three stories in Lakewood today:

1. “Mean Girls,” the Broadway show, is headed for the Schuster Center from May 31 to June 5! “My youngest sister is a senior in high school so ‘Mean Girls’ can hit close to home,” says Mary Beth Donahoe, who grew up in Lakewood, Ohio. She’s now a member of the touring company that will come to Dayton. Tickets are $29-$125. Call (937) 228-3630 or visit DaytonLive.org to purchase. (dayton.com)
2. Though the postponement of the second day of the state track and field championships on Friday gave athletes plenty of time to freshen up physically for the remaining stages of the event at Jeffco Stadium, the overall crummy weather forced a tricky mental adjustment for all 2022 participants. However, all of the teams were able to compete on Saturday with only a slight delay to dry the running surfaces at Jeffco Stadium. (Loveland Reporter-Herald)
3. Looking for a new home or investment opportunity in the Lakewood area? Patch, with help from Redfin, has compiled a list of the latest real estate listings to hit the area.
