Grease

Presented by Steeple Players Community Theatre June 3-June 13, 2010

It’s Rydell High’s senior class of 1959: duck-tailed, hot-rodding “Burger Palace Boys” and their gum-snapping, hip-shaking “Pink Ladies.” One of the world’s most popular musicals, Grease is the look and sound of the 1950s, complete with pedal-pushers and bobby socks. Head “greaser” Danny Zuko and new (good) girl Sandy Dumbrowski try to relive the high romance of their “Summer Nights” as the rest of the gang sings and dances its way through such songs as “Greased Lightnin’”, “It’s Raining on Prom Night”, “Alone at the Drive-In Movie” recalling the music of Buddy Holly, Little Richard and Elvis Presley that became the soundtrack of a generation.

Visitors will get a chance to learn about the varied activities that occupied soldiers when they were not fighting for their lives on a battlefield.
