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.

Big River: The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn

Presented by Tennessee Repertory Theatre  March 20-April 10, 2010

Mark Twain’s timeless classic sweeps us down the mighty Mississippi as the irrepressible Huck Finn helps his friend Jim, a slave, escape to freedom at the mouth of the Ohio River. Their adventures along the way are hilarious, suspenseful and heartwarming, bringing to life favorite characters from the novel-the Widow Douglas and her stern sister, Miss Watson; the uproarious King and Duke, who may or may not be as harmless as they seem; Huck’s partner in crime, Tom Sawyer, and their rowdy gang of pals; Huck’s drunken father, the sinister Pap Finn; the lovely Mary Jane Wilkes and her trusting family. Propelled by an award-winning score from Roger Miller, the king of country music, this jaunty journey provides a brilliantly theatrical celebration of pure Americana.

Original Tennessee Rep Production: 1991/1992 Season

The Tennessee Rep production of Big River will be a companion piece to Nashville Children’s Theatre’s production of The Adventures of Tom Sawyer (fall 2009). Both productions are featured as a part of Nashville’s “One City, One Author” celebration of Mark Twain presented by the Nashville Public Library.
