Former Crete-Monee High School alumnus Steven Klenk, ‘18, made his professional Chicagoland debut as Damian in Paramount Theatre’s production of Mean Girls, which ran from August through October. The CMHS Drama Club had the opportunity to see former theater student Steven Klenk take the stage in this professional production of Mean Girls! It was a special full-circle moment for students and staff to watch a former Warrior pursue his passion for theater and bring a familiar character to life on a professional stage. His journey is an inspiring reminder of where a love for the arts can lead! From dressing up as Damian for Halloween in 2021 to bringing the character to life on the professional stage, Steven’s journey has come full circle! Adding to the fun, he also received a special video message from Daniel Franzese, who played Damian in the iconic 2004 film. Talk about a so fetch moment! Congratulations on this amazing milestone!
