FARCE. Due to budget cuts, the School for Impressively Awesome Girls must merge with the Academy of Gifted, Malevolent, and Nefarious Girls. Combining good students with evil students in a school where everyone has super powers proves a bit awkward. The evil girls are horrified when they have to take Coach Charisma’s class on Heroic Deeds 101 and learn how to get their teeth their whitest. Meanwhile, the good girls find out they have to take Dr. Stalking’s class on weapons of mass destruction and study the subtle nuances of maniacal laughter. Muhahahahahahah! And to top it off, the lunch lady has to do double duty as the school’s guidance counselor!
