Area high school students join Metropolis School of the Performing Arts (SOPA) to perform the hit musical Grease: School Version August 6-9, 2022, in the Metropolis Theatre.

Newcomer Sandy and greaser Danny fall for each other during a carefree summer. When the school year begins, Danny is torn between his feelings for Sandy and his laid back image with the T-Birds. Meanwhile, timid Sandy struggles to find her place within the trend setting Pink Ladies. Will they be able to rekindle their romance, or will the peer pressure get the better of them? This popular show turned hit movie will be brought to the Metropolis stage by Metropolis School of the Performing Arts high school students this summer!
