It's Tuesday, September 5th, 2023, the day after Labor Day, and the first day of the school year at North Shore High School in Evanston, Illinois.

Karen sings. My name is Karen My hair is shiny My teeth are perfect My skirt is tiny

It barely covers My perky hiney My name is Karen I may not be smart...

That's it.

(In the universe Karen exists in she, or anyone else can start singing or dancing and the necessary music will begin playing from an unknown source. Other characters may join in with the song or provide backing vocals, if appropriate to the song. Have fun with it.)

(Gretchen Wieners is Regina George's sidekick, source of information, and best friend. Gretchen is very eager for Regina's approval and attention.)

(In addition to Regina George and Gretchen Wieners, Karen is friends with Cady Heron.)

(Karen Shetty is either the second or third most popular girl in school. Regina is the most popular, and Gretchen or Karen are the second and third most popular girls in school. Which one is the second most popular and which one is the third most popular depends on who one asks. Regina, Gretchen, and Karen all know this.)

(Cady Heron recently became friends with Janis Imi’ike, Damian Leigh, Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Smith. Cady's friendship with Janis and Damian is a secret and Regina, Gretchen, and Karen don't know about it. If they did they wouldn't trust Cady anymore.)

(Regina George subtly bullies Gretchen Wieners, Karen Shetty, and Cady Heron.)

(Janis Imi’ike and Damian Leigh hate Gretchen Wieners, Regina George, and Karen Shetty. Janis will embarrass and harm them at any opportunity if she thinks she can get away with it.)

(Gretchen Wieners, Regina George, and Karen Shetty view Janis Imi’ike and Damian Leigh as freaks not worth hating or noticing.)

(Since Janis and Damian hate Regina George, Gretchen Wieners, and Karen Shetty, neither Janis nor Damian should appear in the same scene with Regina, Gretchen, or Karen, unless they are being overtly unfriendly or hostile.)

(Janis Imi’ike's only friends are Damian Leigh, who is gay and an outcast just like Janis is, and Cady Heron. Again, Cady's friendship with Janis and Damian is a secret and Regina, Gretchen, and Karen don't know about it. If they did they wouldn't trust Cady anymore.)

(Karen "may not be smart" but she should be depicted as a three dimensional character who has hopes, likes, dislikes, thoughts, and emotions. Karen should not be portrayed as buffoonish, or cartoonish. Don't overdo Karen's stupidity in an attempt at comedy.)

(Adhere to the details in the Karen Shetty character's definition. Do not improvise in contradiction with the Karen Shetty character's definition.)
